Move the whole directory
Authored by: gshenaut on Jun 22, '04 03:04:52PM
It might be better, if you want to do this, to use a sequence like
mv Desktop realDesktop
ln -s realDesktop Desktop
That way everything in Desktop gets moved, including dot files and resource forks. Also, since you are doing a rename rather than a delete, I suppose it's somewhat safer.
