Any Linux Gurus out there?

[orchie]

Looking for some help on very basic stuff....
Logged in as my default user I have restrictive access to folders. Without changing the access to these folders I want to do some folder moving. In the console as su but I'll be buggered if I can find the move or copy style of commands. I want to move a folder from /tmp to /etc

Anyone care to help? CLI rather than GUI if possible :)

cp and mv are the commands you're after. both have a fair few options you can check by typing --help after the command or use the man page by typing man cp etc.

For future reference, you might find this useful for basic unix cli commands:
