If you wanted to copy large amounts of data from, say, C:\My Music (and your C drive was mounted on /mnt/windows) you can use the
-R option to
cp to copy recursively. Something like
Code:
# cp -R /mnt/windows/My\ Music ~
will copy the entire My Music directory from your windows drive to your Linux home directory. After that, you may want to rename it to something more linux-y (i.e. no uppercase or spaces -
mv ~/My\ Music ~/music), and you should probably change the owner of the files from root to your everyday user to avoid permissions problems:
Code:
# chown <youruser> -R ~/music (or ~/My\ Music if you didn't rename)
Et voila!
