You can do
mv car.txt bicycle.txt vehicle/
(Note that the /
above is unnecessary, I include it merely to ensure that vehicle
is a directory.)
You can test this as follows:
cd #Move to home directory mkdir temp #Make a temporary directory touch a b c d #Make test (empty) files ('touch' also updates the modification date of an existing file to the current time) ls #Verify everything is there mv a b c d temp/ #Move files into temp ls #See? They are gone. ls temp/ #Oh, there they are! rm -rf temp/ #DESTROY (Be very, very careful with this command)
