I just move all my files(list of log file) to folder that never been created. This is the command looks like : [root@umpwins hafiz]# find Cfg* -exec mv {} /home/hafiz/Config/Aprl11/Log \; Folder "Log" is never been created before. So when i move to the path /home/hafiz/Config/Aprl11 and using command "ls -l" the output is as below : [root@umpwins Aprl11]# ls -l total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 hafiz hafiz 12483 Apr 29 00:54 Log How to get back my original file? hi..cool command…but i’ve make some mistake. I just move all my files(list of log file) to folder that never been created. This is the command looks like :

[root@umpwins hafiz]# find Cfg* -exec mv {} /home/hafiz/Config/Aprl11/Log \;

Folder “Log” is never been created before. So when i move to the path /home/hafiz/Config/Aprl11 and using command “ls -l” the output is as below :

[root@umpwins Aprl11]# ls -l
total 16
-rw-r–r– 1 hafiz hafiz 12483 Apr 29 00:54 Log

How to get back my original file?

So to make CLI see it as an actual space, you need to escape it. <code>mv /home/volkan/indirilenler/bdz-nthkble-dvdrip-xvid.srt /media/Yeni\ Birim/Film/</code> use a <code>\ </code> (backslash) before the space anytime you need an actual space.

What should i put character for space? Error is mv: target `Birim/Film/' is not directory Also i cant change "Yeni Birim" name becouse it is partitions i think. I am trying to move like this:
