got this problem when i messed up with an rsync and forgot to add a trailing slash.
So now i've got an extra folder.
Current foldertree
/Volumes/hd/images1/images1/
/Volumes/hd/images2/images2/
/Volumes/hd/images3/images3/
I wanted to get this
/Volumes/hd/images1/
/Volumes/hd/images2/
/Volumes/hd/images3/
Is there a way to get rid of the extra folder to get what i wanted, i tried to
mv /Volumes/hd/images1/images1/ /Volumes/hd/images1/
But got an error saying that they were identical, i also tried some basic php scripting to do the job for me, without any luck.
I cant delete or really copy the content of the folders since its a massive amount of data, i could do it manually by changing the name of the parent folder, then drag the subfolder to /hd and then delete the old parent. But its alot of work, so if anyone got a tip on how to do this, i'd be more than happy.
Im using Mac OS X if its of any interest
You should learn how to use shell commands, perhaps something like
for f in /volumes/hd/* ; do
b=$(basename $f)
d=$(dirname $f)
mv $f $d/$b.dir
mv $d/$b.dir/* $f
done
check first that it does what you want by replacing mv with echo mv
You really should learn how to use basic Unix commands (inside a terminal) on your MacOSX
