Moving stuff in a ubuntu os

Code Help
1

so this isnt directly related to replit but i know alot of smart people are on here and i use a linux ubuntu running machine to store a minecraft server and when untaring a file it put the data in a folder and i was wondering if anyone had a command to get the file out of the folder without having to manually donwnload and move each file

You should just be able to use mv:

mv source/file.ext target/newFile.ext

Is it currently stored in /home/container, or is that where you’re trying to move it to?

mv folder/* target
I tested this in a Docker container and it worked until I moved the mv command to the wrong folder.

so if i do mv /foldername /home/container?

mv /foldername/* /home/container should move everything in foldername to /home/container I think. * is a wildcard.

im checking to see if posible to move them out of the folder as i use pterodactyl and it has a gui and there is a move option but i dont exactly know what to put threre to get it to drag the files out

Do you have a GUI on your server? You could just use the GUI file manager (Linux has lots of them).
