Copying file in text mode?
 

Hi. Really simple question. What is the command for copying a file in text mode? Also how would I copy a folder from cdrom, named My Music/ My Pictures/ in text mode. As I have tried to leave a blank space inbetween the name and no success, ive also tried to put the name together MyMusic and no success. Thanks for any help.

cp

man cp for the man pages or view them here online at http://man.linuxquestions.org

<edit>trickykids got fast fingers</edit>

the command for copying is cp

cp <source> <destination>

To include spaces in file names use backslash \ before space

As cdrom would normally be /mnt/cdrom u cud use
cp /mnt/cdrom/My\ Music/My\ Pictures/

for more help do man cp

Hope that helps

It has already been mounted. The problem was that I forgot the cd was not in the drive. Thanks anyway.
