Need to copy all .jpg images in subdirectories to a specific directory
 
Hi All,

I have .jpg files in many subdirectories from where I need to copy all the images from all the sub directories and paste them to a specific directory.

I have used `cp -rf *.jpg media/sik/` which only copies the .jpg files of the directory in which I was working.

Can somebody help me.......!!!:(

Use find.

Code:
find . -name "*.jpg" -exec cp '{}' ./media/sik/ \;

Thanks for reply.....but sorry I forgot to tell you that I need to perform the copy task without using find command...!!!:(

why, do you not have find?

Do you have zsh?

If yes:
Code:
cp **/*.jpg ./media/sik/

Newer versions of bash can do that with the "shopt -s globstar" option.

But what of the .jpg file is in the current dir, not in a subdir?
