I've 800 or so files and folders in a folder called nonmembers. I mkdir
another folder in the folder nonmembers called members. I want to copy all
the 800 files in nonmembers to members. I'm in the nonmembers folder at the
command line. What do I type? Sounds easy doesn't it. I tried cp -a * members
but that of course includes members. I suppose I want to say 'copy everything
in the nonmembers folder that was there before I made the members folder to
the members folder'. If I had a gui I would simply drag and drop.
Thanks. Lynn.
you forgot to put the source and destination directory in the command i
believe is the problem. try cp <source directory>* <receiving
directory> something like that, see
man cp for exact syntax
