I don't see why not. Did you try it?

ya it works.  I had a problem with it, but i was using a vi to list files and folders, then i used the list as a path, so it only gave me a relative path instead of an absolute.  i was using that path for my target.  so i had to use change up some things to get the full path.  works though!
