Default

how many directories, how many files?
...........
I usually copy (cp -iv) then delete (/bin/rm -iv ) OR use mmv (a port)
..........
or do command(s) such as
find . -type f -name "a*.fil" -exec mmv {} /new_dir \;
............
better, quicker ways but since the situation probably won't repeat, no
since to script it, just do it slower
