title: Merging Sub-Folders together, Linux
body: <p>I have  a main folder "Abc" which has about 800 sub-folders. Each of these sub-folders contains numerous files (all of the same format, say ".doc"). How do I create one master folder with all these files (and not being distributed into subfolders). I am doing this on a Windows 7 machine, using cygwin terminal. </p>
  
  <p>The <code>cp -r</code> command copies it but leaves the files in the sub-folders, so it doesn't really help much. I'd appreciate assistance with this. Thank you!</p>
