You can use (cp ) command (man cp) -> more information

# cd /folder_Files are with .xls extention

# ls -l *.xls* -> list files verfiy and than proceed.

# cp -p *.xls* /another directory

Hi Prabhi,

U can move all the .xls files to a new directory as per your desire with the below command:

mv *.xls new_location

Or, u can copy all of them to a new location with the below command:

copy *.xls new_location
