Note that mv itself doesn't know anything about filesystem internals like the FAT table on a FAT filesystem. As the answers point out, it merely makes a rename system call, and leaves it to the kernel to return success or failure. The Unix/POSIX file API leaves all the VFS details to the kernel; the kernel itself is the only thing with drivers for HFS+, VFAT, NTFS, etc. The key combination Ctrl+w (cut last word followed by Ctrl-y, Ctrl-y (Paste twice) can be useful when writing mv commands, to quickly create two copies of the path, you can then just edit the destination to generate the new name. The mv utility now supports HFS+ Finder. LBRY and Support Me: https://lbry.tv/$/invite/@LinuxLounge:b.
Move files and/or folders.
If the last argument (target) names an existing directory, 'mv' moves each other given file into a file with the same name in that directory. Otherwise, if only two files are given, it renames the first as the second. It is an error if the last argument is not a directory and more than two files are given.
The key combinationCtrl+w (cut last word followed by Ctrl-y, Ctrl-y (Paste twice) can be useful when writing mv commands, to quickly create two copies of the path, you can then just edit the destination to generate the new name.
The mv utility now supports HFS+ Finder and Extended Attributes and resource forks. The mv utility will no longer strip resource forks from HFS files. For an alternative method, refer to cp.
The -n and -v options are non-standard and their use in scripts used across multiple unix machines is not recommended. Notwithstanding this many users find it useful to set an alias mv='mv -iv' in bashrc, so that progress is always displayed and files do not get overwritten without a confirmation.
Examples
Move all files with names ending in '.jpg' from the current folder to the Documents directory
$ mv *.jpg ~/Documents
Move the 'Documents' folder to 'Documents backup', quotes are needed because of the space in the folder name.
$ mv Documents 'Documents backup'
Move the file Hunter.txt to the Trash. The tilde ~ indicates that the .Trash folder is located in the users home.
$ mv Hunter.txt ~/.Trash
Move all .jpg files to the CA folder, and for those with 'New York' in the filename, replace with 'California_'
the '${f/New York/California_}' is an application of bash parameter expansion.
$ mkdir CA
$ for f in *.jpg; do mv '$f' 'CA/${f/New York/California_}'; done
Rename all files in the current directory, replacing spaces with underscores:
ls | while read f; do mv '$f' '${f// /_}';done
How many slots on a roulette wheel. Rename .txt files to .html
$ for f in *.txt; do mv ./'$f' '${f%txt}htm'; done

TEST DRIVE
We invite you to take one of our Mac minis for a spin. We offer 24 hour demos to test out speeds and software configurations. Give it a try!
ABOUT US
We're a small group based outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Many of us have founded our own
hosting/web companies that were acquired by Mac Mini Vault's parent company, CyberLynk.
We are all highly skilled engineers with various wheelhouses; macOS, VMware, Linux, Windows, Cisco, VoIP.
Our customer service and technical expertise is highly valued by our customers.
DATA CENTER FEATURES
We are the only provider of Mac mini hosting that offers two data center options. The benefits of hosting with Mac Mini Vault do not stop there. We've worked hard to bring the most features and capabilities to market at the most competitive price. https://truevfiles699.weebly.com/slot-car-mac-os.html.
- 1 Gbps Ports standard
- Native IPv6 included
- SOCII Audited (Phoenix)
- Free Hands on Support*
We simply do not believe in constantly charging customers for every little thing. If you need an OS re-installed, or a video dongle hooked up to your machine you shouldn't have to worry about charges or monthly add-on costs. Windows movie maker app store.
Had an excellent experience with @MacMiniVault so far. Responsive support, awesome pricing, and ridiculous fast connection. Thanks guys!
I'm impressed at @MacMiniVault support. Good to work with pros who know what they are doing!
SERVICE FEATURES
Monthly service costs can be deceptive. When choosing a host be sure to compare all the
features. What will it cost if something breaks? What if I want a faster port? Is IPv6 connectivity
available? Our goal is to deliver the best service and the most value.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
We're your hands and eyes and can assist with diagnosing and repairing your issue.
FAST BANDWIDTH

MAC GEEKS
We eat, breathe, and sleep Apple. We spend a lot of time with macOS.
CONTROL PANEL
Access bandwidth graphs and remote power controls within your customer portal.

FAQ
Have questions? No worries. We are here to help.
HOW FAST IS YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION?
Each Mac mini has a 1 Gbps network connection a few hops away from the public internet. Each data center has multiple bandwidth providers and we make sure all of our connections have plenty of available bandwidth. To summarize, 'very fast'.
WHAT CAN YOU USE A MAC MINI OR MAC PRO FOR?
Many, many things. Use it as a server. Load ESXi on it and run macOS, Linux, or Windows Virtual Machines. Host Mac specific software (Filemaker, Daylite, Xcode, Jenkins, etc). Personal remote workstation. Off site backup/redundancy. Software development and testing. Plus many more use cases.
HOW RELIABLE IS A MAC MINI?
Very reliable. If you had to choose a weak point of the Mac mini, it'd be the hard drive. Performing backups to a second drive and using our Enterprise colocation plan will ensure that when the day comes that your hard drive finally stops spinning, you won't have data loss or any unexpected bills. We'll handle the hardware repair and data restore free of charge.
I GET THE RENT2OWN MAC MINI AFTER 12 MONTHS?
Well yes and no. We don't automatically pack it up and ship it to you. Your colocation service keeps renewing until you cancel that. We treat the Mac mini as owned by you at that point and only invoice the colo fees. Contrast (itch) mac os.

WHAT IS COLOCATION?
Mvptbs Mac Os X
Colocation (colo for short) is where a customer owns their equipment and pays a data center for rack space, bandwidth, and power. Over the long term this is a tremendous savings over leasing equipment. When you no longer need the server hosted we ship it back to you.
WHAT IF I WANT TO RUN WINDOWS, LINUX, OR VIRTUALIZATION?
Mvptbs Mac Os 11
We are one of the few companies that will load Windows or Linux (CentOS/Ubuntu Server LTS) on a bare metal Mac mini. We also offer ESXi which is great for virtualization. You can also virtualize inside your macOS, Windows, or Linux OS as well. You'll most likely want an additional IP for each VM. Check out our Alternative OS page for information on Mac mini models that support Windows, Linux, and ESXi.
