Seriously, it's embarrassing to ask, and I have no idea how to search for this with Google I'm pretty comfortable with the linux terminal.

On Windows, I could move all the zip files starting with the letter A to a folder named A like so:
Code:
MOVE A*.zip A

Linux I try:
Code:
mv A*.zip ./A/

No dice. What am I missing?
 
You don't seem to be missing anything. I just made myself an example directory and tried your command to make sure; it works exactly as specified here.

Are you getting any error messages?
 
Hmm... no error messages. Just shows the little mini-man page usage notes text.

Problem is, I'm at work (on my windows box) and I posted this thread on a lark and I'm typing the command from memory. I'll try it again when I get home then.

Thanks.
 
For what it's worth, you can drop the leading "./", eg:

Code:
mv A*.zip A/
