使用 gitbash 终端将文件从 windows 10 移动到 ubuntu 文件夹

Question

I am using Ubuntu on windows 10 and I need to move a file from a windows folder into ubuntu folder using the git bash terminal.

How would I do this?

Answer 1

You should move the file from within Ubuntu, not the other way around, because if you copy from Windows to Ubuntu, you will run into permissions errors.

See this for the solution: Copy Files from Windows to the Ubuntu Subsystem

So the moving would be from within the ubuntu shell something like:

mv /mnt/<windows_drive_letter>/<path>/<filename> .

Answer 2

Actually, I'm not sure why, but you cannot move a folder from windows to WSL. It causes permission denied error on removing process (moving consists of copy & remove). But you can copy it instead using BASH.

Steps:

1. Put your folder in User Directory (ex. C://Users/Admin/ )
2. Open your ubuntu terminal
3. Copy it recursively. Ex:

cp -r /mnt/c/Users/Admin/AFolder ./FolderInWSL/
