How to move folder

Question

Can you tell me how to move a folder? I am trying to use mv but it does not work! I use Ubuntu and I am new.

Answer 1

The command is mv foldername newfoldername

Example (mv /tmp/huy to be /tmp/huyN):

cd /tmp
/tmp$ mkdir huy
/tmp$ touch huy/testfile
/tmp$ mv huy huyN
/tmp$ ll huyN/
total 24
drwxrwxr-x  2 user  user    4096 Feb 21 09:48 ./
drwxrwxrwt 36 root root 20480 Feb 21 09:48 ../
-rw-rw-r--  1 user   user       0 Feb 21 09:48 testfile
/tmp$
