mv deletes files even if parameter not specified.

[John Miles]

address@hidden:~/ftpd/ftpd/site/projects/drive3/senior_design# mv 
../../drive1/uploads/Bers*

notice that the mv does not have the second parameter of the destination.  I 
omitted this purposly... doing this will delete the first file it finds that 
matches Bers*

note however, this is repeatable only if I'm using relative "../../" paths 
several directories in.

typing the same thing but in the directory of the location of the file 
produces the correct result:

address@hidden:~/ftpd/ftpd/site/projects/drive1/uploads# mv Bers*
mv: missing file argument
Try `mv --help' for more information.


It's easy for hackers or anyone for that matter to delete files.
