Subject: How do move large number of files ?

 

Hello,

I have very huge number of files in one directory that I wish to move to some other folder and
the standard  "mv" just screames

crash-06:~/DataSet$ mv file*  SFiles
bash: /bin/mv: Argument list too long


Can someone suggest what is may be a good solution.  of course picking one by one is ruled out.

Mir
