Creating and moving directories in Midnight Commander
You can use menu options to create and move directories. You cannot have two identical directory names in the same parent directory. When you move a directory, you can open the destination directory in one panel and choose the directory you want to move in the current panel. Midnight Commander provides a summary statement to indicate the directory to be moved and the destination directory. You should check this summary statement to ensure that the source and destination directory is correct.
To create a directory
1. In the current directory panel, open the directory where you want to create a new directory.
2. Click File, Mkdir.
3. Type the new directory name in the Enter Directory Name section.
Tip
You can also create a directory by clicking the Mkdir function key, or pressing F7.
To move a directory
1. In the current directory panel, open the destination directory.
2. In the other panel, choose the directory you want to move.
3. Click File, Rename/Move.
4. Check the Move dialog box to ensure that the source directory listed is correct.
5. Check the destination directory listed in the To box to ensure it is correct.
Notes
If either the source or destination directory listed in the Move dialog box is incorrect, you can type the new source or destination in the appropriate box.
