Unpacking a directory into its parent directory.

Question

I've got a directory (wordpress) in a folder (the main html directory of my website) and I'd like to "unpack" it into the main html directory. That is to say, I'd like to remove the wordpress directory and have all its subdirectories be under /html/ instead of /html/wordpress/. How do I do this?

Answer 1

$ cd /html/wordpress
$ mv * ..
$ cd ..
$ rmdir wordpress

Do you need something more complicated?

Answer 2

mv /path/to/html/wordpress/* /path/to/html
rmdir /path/to/html/wordpress

Should work

Answer 3

mv /html/wordpress/* /html
rmdir wordpress
