files?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Well, it's impossible to tell without knowing the exact command you used and what files were in the directory you were moving from.  That would certainly be a new one on me.  All I can tell you is files just don't disappear with no explanation. Did you get an error message (like maybe the destination file system was full)?

Master of Reality:
well.. this is exactly what i did:
i have 1 3GB root partition that has 44MB in it.
I had the files:
base31.tgz
comp31.tgz
misc31.tgz
game31.tgz
etc31.tgz
bsd
in the directory /tmp/apps/
from dling them with wget.
i did ls in /tmp/apps/ to get the listing of the files that were there (which are above).
the next day (computer was never shutoff, i logged out and back in).
I did
wget -nH http://url.to/file/xserv31.tg
i realized i didnt dl it in /tmp/apps/ so i did
mv xserv31.tgz /tmp/apps/
cd /tmp/apps
ls
then it listed only xserv31.tgz
i did
cd ..
ls
cd /tmp/apps
ls
cd /
ls
cd /tmp
ls
find / base31.tgz and it didnt find it.
then i came and posted this thread
 (in case ya didnt notice i was planning to install OpenBSD)
then i wget -nH http://all.those.file/again

Ha ha ha!!  I just realized where you were putting these files, under "/tmp".  Remember, you're not in Winblows anymore Toto.  Linux actually cleans up after itself, unlike Windows.  In RedHat there is a cron job that runs the "tmpwatch" command to clean out old files from "/tmp". See the "/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch" script.

Also, there is a history of all of the commands that you ran by either typing "history" or by looking at your ".bash_history" file.
