Hi

I have a load of photos from brother, god knows how he's managed to zip them up but when I've unzipped them they have created a load of sub folders...

Main Folder
----- Name of the event
----- ----- Name of the event/zip file (unwanted)
----- ----- ----- Photos
----- Name of the event
----- ----- Name of the event/zip file (unwanted)
----- ----- ----- Photos

How do I move (mv) the all photos up one directory? I have 100s of name of the event folders, yeah I can do it in a GNU or cd-ing into each "Name of the event/zip file (unwanted)" then mv *.* .. but with 100s of folders is there a quick way of doing it?

Thanks in advance..
 
Thanks... yes it is in terminal.
I can move all the jpegs to one folder, but with them being photos they have names like 0001.jpg 0002.jpg that are the same within each of the folders.
I want to just move them one folder up.
