How to move multiple files over network from terminal

  • 772

I am using this command

gvfs-move file smb://server/directory/file

to move files over a samba share I would like to transfer multiple files by piping the results of a gvfs-ls to the same command however I cannot use a wild card to limit the search like this

gvfs-ls smb://server/directory/*.mkv

How do I create a list of files over a samba share and proccess those?

command-line

    Would this work? 

    find . -iname *.mkv | xargs 'command'

    Goodluck.
