user interface - How to move files in different directories in linux (cui) -


i working on exercise in command line crash course (http://cli.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex11.html)

so far learned , understand how copy (cp) , move (mv) directories , files within same path.

but!

how move (mv) or copy (cp) file or directory separate path? example:

here path

path 1: ~/temp/i/like/icecream ~/temp

path 2: ~/desktop/blue/red/yellow ~/desktop

if wanted lets blue desktop, temp folder how do this?

i bash error or "this file or directory doesn't exist". understand reading in specific path or in "desktop" can't figure out life of me how 2 different paths recognize 1 another. way can use gui , put temp directory in desktop directory or dragging files want temp directory desktop. if can gui, shouldn't able cui? thanks!

if wanted given folder blue personal temp directory, type:

mv ~/desktop/blue ~/temp 

this appears want do; comment if doesn't work.
