4.16) Moving Around From Another Directory Not In The Path (cont'd)


To obtain the full path you need to use pwd and use the path including the proper username and higher directories for your system. In general it is:

cp /nfs/see/username/data1 /nfs/see/username/research/documents/

This is as complicated as it needs to get in terms of moving files around your account. Keep in mind that people who use Unix frequently will know and use all of these methods depending on where they are in their account and their Unix knowledge.
