I trying to learn how to move files around. I made some test files and directories to practice with. When I try to move a file from one directory to the other, the file just completely disappears.
I use "sudo mv testfile2.txt /Jupiter
Jupiter is one of my directories. It leaves the one its in but never shows up in Jupiter. I am at a loss of what to do. I have been using my Linux plus study guide and have already hit a brick wall with this. thank you.
