argument list too long
 
I am sure many of us would have faced this issue when we try to copy a long list of files

The error we get is

Code:

argument list too long:unable to copy or similar error
I searched a lot of thread to find a good solution but couldn't get one so i am starting a new thread

Can anyone here please help me overcome this error

Must not have searched too much...first and second hits in Google:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6060
http://serverfault.com/questions/560...umber-of-files

More than five very usable solutions.

But thanks ....

Thought you had "searched a lot of thread"?? That's a well known issue, and has been asked/answered many times.

Yes I know that but most of them are answer less so I wanted a solved thread in this blog.

I will wait or few more replies then i would mark the thread as solved
