how to move and copy files....
 

hey guys just wondering how to move or copy files in gnome terminal ... eg


copy /home/j/mp3's to /home/mp3's

thanks

man cp

cp /home/j/*.mp3 /home

R.O.

lets see:

'man cp'
'man mv'

Yep,

Always do a 'man <command>' to see the instructions and how to use them. In case you are still muddled up.

then you would 'cp -R /home/j/mp3's /home'

The '-R' flag stands for recursive which you will need if you are planning to move or copy directories. So, in this case you are copying the 'mp3's' directory to /home. Hope that helps a bit...
