Well, presuming you want to move a whole (sub-directory) of stuff, the quick and painless way is a find piped to cpio. You'll need to review a cpio or find man page, but something like this might be useful find [abc]* -depth | cpio -pdumav </your/target/directory> The "-depth" is optional, but has uses. The cpio "a" resets the access time (a problem if your source is read only, drop it) and the "v" says be noisy about your job.
