[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 975475, member: 110816"] Unix doesn't like spaces..so you can move it within Finder which will handle this nicely, but if you want to stick with the command line, you'll have to use [CODE] mv MAIN\ DRIVE\ 3 ~/musicpics [/CODE] You are "escaping" the spaces, to get the real directory name. In your original command, "mv" thinks you gave it 6 directories to move around..:) Regards [/QUOTE]
