Hi,
With Jonathan's good advice regarding different connected volumes, do the
following:
sudo cp -av source_folder target_location
As Alex mentioned, when the password prompt is displayed, enter your regular

Sudo requires a password. Type it as you did the first time, and when Terminal
asks for your password, type in the one you'd use for any other administrative

After I hit the file utility button, I try and unlock the window and it just
hangs..stays busy for ages.

Hi,

the GUI since the level of authority of the user performing the move action is

command. Also, a trick you can use to ensure you have the cor
First, I think you need quotes if you're going to use paths with spaces. Put
each path--origin and destination--in quotes and see if that helps.
Second, if you want to move all the files and folders in origin, use the -R
flag (note that the R is capitalized).
Third, you start with Volumes. Unle
Hi,
so I’ve been trying to move files from one place to another with the terminal.
I am screwing this up royally, so any help would be great. Here’s what I’ve
been typing:
mv Volumes/Library Disk /Volumes/My Book/books
What am I doing wrong, please? This is trying to move files from one exte
