Mv command

The mv command saved me over the weekend when I had to move 120+ gigs of large files from an old G4 to the new Buffalo NAS device for the Bridge. It really was the only way to go since any error in the drag and drop method would stop the process all-together, making me start over not knowing what had and hadn’t completed, with mv it just outputs the error and moves on to the next file.
