How to use find and mv How to use find and mv/

October 16th, 2011 AfterDarkMike

After using “wget -spyder” to download a directory index and all linked files, I noticed they ended up in 70 or 80 different directories on my local machine.

I found that using “find” and “mv” worked the best to round them up and put them in the root of the directory structure.
