Copy Folders from Terminal

Use this command from Terminal: sudo mv -R "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"
Supply the admin password when requested
If you don't know it, the copy might work without the "sudo" command first
Replace SOURCE AND DESTINATION with the correct paths
Use the quotes to avoid problems with spaces in file or folder names
The -R option specifies recursive, so all enclosed files and folders are copied
If copying to/from another disk use /Volumes/DISKNAME/FOLDERNAME
