 Unix Tip #4371- February 28, 2025
 
MOVING FILES WITH CPIO  
  
If you have a multitude of  
files to move from one  
directory or filesystem to  
another, here's a one liner:  
  
# find /old_directory -depth | cpio -pdmv /new_directory  
  
This will move all of the  
files under the specified  
old_directory to the  
new_directory, keeping the  
same ownership, permissions,  
and directory structure.
