Im trying to move a file between my home folder to the certs folder

Question

I'm using this command:

sudo mv /home/az_123/ubuntue.pem

I'm getting the following error:

mv: missing destination file operand after '/home/az_123/ubuntue.pem' Try 'mv --help' for more information

So what's the problem - apart from missing the destination in the command? — Artur Meinild, Nov 11 '22 at 06:57
I'm not able to shift the file to the respective folder. The following error
mv: missing destination file operand after '/home/az_123/ubuntue.pem' Try 'mv --help' for more information. — user1648715, Nov 11 '22 at 06:58
You need to include the destination like this: sudo mv /home/az_123/ubuntue.pem <destination>. Did you try mv help then? — Artur Meinild, Nov 11 '22 at 07:00

mv needs you to define both a source and a destination. You're getting an error because you did not enter a path for the destination.

Use the following syntax:

sudo mv /path/to/source /path/to/destination
