I'm using this command:
sudo mv /home/az_123/ubuntue.pem
I'm getting the following error:
mv: missing destination file operand after '/home/az_123/ubuntue.pem' Try 'mv --help' for more information

So what's the problem - apart from missing the destination in the command? – Artur Meinild Nov 11 '22 at 06:57

I'm not able to shift the file to the respective folder. The following error mv: missing destination file operand after '/home/az_123/ubuntue.pem' Try 'mv --help' for more information. – user1648715 Nov 11 '22 at 06:58

You need to include the destination like this: `sudo mv /home/az_123/ubuntue.pem
`. Did you try `mv help` then? – Artur Meinild Nov 11 '22 at 07:00 -

mv needs you to define both a source and a destination. You're getting an error because you did not enter a path for the destination.
Use the following syntax:
sudo mv /path/to/source /path/to/destination
