fastq extraction command

Hi All, I have many fastq.gz files that I want to extract them from one directory to another one. Can you please tell me which linux command I should use? Thank you

assembly

You may need learn some basic shell commands first. for example, google "shell command learn"

mv OneDirectory/*.fastq.gz AnotherDirectory/

if that doesn't work (perhaps because you don't have write permission to the original file location), you could try:

cp OneDirectory/*.fastq.gz AnotherDirectory/

By the way, this isn't really a bioinformatics question. It's rather a linux how to move or copy a file question. As was suggested by @shenwei356, you can probably figure this out on your own with a little effort.
