How do I move files from /home/user1/*.* (user directory) to any directory under root?
Dear,
I am using ftp to move files from my windows desktop to a linux machine. Since I am not able to log on to ftp as root, I am using my user1 account. In that case all files are moved under user1 account. Now the question comes. How to move those files from user1 account to a root directory and they should appear as root files and not user1 account.
the mv from location to location is only making a movement of the files but still files are under user1 account.
