Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I think question is too simple, but its too hard to find any info on it. Question is just simple as:
I open ssh terminal into my server and run some command using 'cp /path/file /other/path/file &'. And off course this runs as background job and I can list it using jobs command. This is very good. Then I close my terminal using 'exit' and then re-enter it again using ssh and I can see the same copy job with 'ps aux', but it no more listed with 'jobs' command. How can I bring this job back to foreground and control with 'jobs' command ?
I tried your scenario in my linux computer locally , I experienced the same issue that you have reported.
Then i checked the man page of "jobs" command , it clearly stated that,
"jobs - display status of jobs in the current session"
Will check more on this ,BTW , as you can find the PID of the cp command using ps -aux command , you could do whatever you want with it.
