要在有图形界面的计算机上移动一个文件，你要打开该文件当前所在的文件夹，然后打开另一个窗口导航到你想把文件移到的文件夹。最后，你把文件从一个窗口拖到另一个窗口。


要在终端中移动文件，你可以使用 `mv` 命令将文件从一个位置移动到另一个位置。



```
$ mv example.txt ~/Documents

$ ls ~/Documents
example.txt

```

在这个例子中，你已经把 `example.txt` 从当前文件夹移到了主目录下的 `Documents` 文件夹中。


只要你知道一个文件在 *哪里*，又想把它移到 *哪里* 去，你就可以把文件从任何地方移动到任何地方，而不管你在哪里。与在一系列窗口中浏览你电脑上的所有文件夹以找到一个文件，然后打开一个新窗口到你想让该文件去的地方，再拖动该文件相比，这可以大大节省时间。


默认情况下，`mv` 命令完全按照它被告知的那样做：它将一个文件从一个位置移动到另一个位置。如果在目标位置已经存在一个同名的文件，它将被覆盖。为了防止文件在没有警告的情况下被覆盖，请使用 `--interactive`（或简写 `-i`）选项。



```
$ mv -i example.txt ~/Documents
mv: overwrite '/home/tux/Documents/example.txt'?

```

OK
To move a file on a computer with a graphical interface, you open the folder where the file is currently located, and then open another window to the folder you want to move the file into. Finally, you drag and drop the file from one to the other.

To move a file in a terminal, you use the* * **mv **command to move a file from one location to another.

```
$ mv example.txt ~/Documents
$ ls ~/Documents
example.txt
```


In this example, you've moved **example.txt** from its current folder into the **Documents** folder.


As long as you know where you want to take a file *from* and where you want to move it *to*, you can send files from any location to any location, no matter where you are. This can be a serious time saver compared to navigating through all the folders on your computer in a series of windows just to locate a file, and then opening a new window to where you want that file to go, and then dragging that file.

The **mv** command by default does exactly as it's told: it moves a file from one location to another. Should a file with the same name already exist in the destination location, it gets overwritten. To prevent a file from being overwritten without warning, use the **--interactive **(or **-i **for short) option:

```
$ mv -i example.txt ~/Documents
mv: overwrite '/home/tux/Documents/example.txt'?
```
