one - rename directory linux
How do I copy folder with files to another folder in Unix/Linux? (2)
I am having some issues to copy a folder with files in that folder into another folder. Command cp -r
doesn't copy files in the folder.
The option you're looking for is -R
.
cp -R path_to_source path_to_destination/
- If
destination
doesn't exist, it will be created. -R
meanscopy directories recursively
. You can also use-r
since it's case-insensitive.- Note the nuances with adding the trailing
/
as per @muni764's comment.
Use:
$ cp -R SRCFOLDER DESTFOLDER/
