How To Copy All Files In A Directory With Linux by Webune Tutorials
Welcome to Webune Support Forums.
We offer dedicated Linux Servers.

today we are going to show you how you can copy all of the files in a directory.

lets say i have a website on my server and all the files for the website are located in the www directory:

/home/mydomain/web/www/


and i want to copy all the to another directory at:

/home/otherdomain/web/public_html


ok this is the command to copy the files

cp -rf /home/mydomain/web/www/ /home/otherdomain/web/public_html


thats it

the basic syntax for copy is:

copy this_file.txt to_this_file.txt
[NOTE: if to_this_file.txt does not exists, it will create it automatically]
