If I want to move all subfolders from one folder to another then what command I need to give.
For Eg. I have a folder on c:\Test1 and in that I have many subfolders and I want to move all the subfolders to C:\Test2 but I don't want to move the Test1 folder (which is the parent folder).

Please suggest.
