One question that comes up from time-to-time is how to move files from the media folder to the download protect folder (which is a subfolder in the WP /uploads/ directory). The usual answer is “you can’t.”

However, sometimes we run across a user that has 100s (or more) existing files that they want to move into the protected directory. So I have written a command line script that will process a bulk move for you.
