[Resolved] Files "trapped" in a "." dir

So I wrote a little script to help automate archiving old files on a server.

But it the 'Archive' directory has been stuck into the '.' directory. I'd like it to be in the main 'FTVs' dir.

I've tried various permutations of

mv /mnt/FTVs/Archive/ /mnt/FTVs/

to no result. The shell says that it's the same file.

Re: [Resolved] Files "trapped" in a "." dir

Since the files I'm working with are technically a "backup" I just killed the lot of them and will make sure the "Archive" dir is available before running my script.

I think having the script make the dir was causing some of the odd behavior.
