Copying Multiple Files

Hi
I want to copy some of the files in a directory to another directory.The files don't have any pattern.Is it possible to give multiple sources for the cp command,So that in a single command all the files given as argument in the source field will be copied.

Indeed:

Code:

cp /path_to_file1 /path_to_file2 /path_to_file(n) /etc <destination>

I hope this is what you were looking for....

cheers,

Thanks ,
I misunderstood the man page of cp.I thought that SOURCE meant a single file.
