When it comes to shifting personal files from spot A to B, especially
if I'm starting from a home directory, I tend to use a graphical file
manager. Cut from here, paste over there, tends to be quite simple and
straightforward. No having to work out difficult wildcards, or workout
if I'll accidentally wildcard in something from some other location.
It is unfortunate that <Ctrl-X> and <Ctrl-C> are next to each other on
most keyboards. It would be nice to have a file manager that would
display a visual summary of the actions defined by a command-line
and let you edit your command line before running it.
When I worked in a place that made Windows the "enterprise standard",
and when teaching workshops using student labs where the data files were
on a Windows server, users cutting and pasting files, thus removing them
from the server was a constant problem. Some Windows sites seem to
block or remove read-only permissions in shares, so I never found a way to
prevent this. On linux, using sudo, commands are saved to a log so
you can review what you did when things didn't go as expected.
