I'd like to copy a file, say widgets/water.txt, to all subfolders in the folder widgets using a single command. So if the folder widgets has 10 subfolders like widgets/blue, widgets/green, etc. I'd like to copy water.txt to all of them with one command.
I tried the commands
Code:
cp water.txt ./*/water.txt
cp water.txt ./*/
However these don't seem to work. The latter gives 'cp: omitting directory' errors.
For the life of me I can not figure out what I am doing wrong with scp to copy a directory and its contents from a remote machine to my local host. I have no issues with getting a single file but would like to just save time and get the whole folder in one command.
Here is what I have tried:
scp user AT remoteMachine:/home/username/folderIwant user AT localMachine:/folderIwant this gives me a permission denied error and try again and received disconnect from localHost to many authentication failures
scp user AT remoteMachine:home/username/folderIwant . says can not find file or folder
I am sure this is something easy that I cant remember, and searches gives me local to remote not remote to local and trying to make the local to remote suggestions I read to work remote to local have not worked.
I have the following content on the source directory:
source/foo.txt
source/bar/another_file.txt
source/bar2/and_another.txt
I want copy those files to a destination directory which, after copy, shall look like this:
destination/foo.txt
destination/another_file.txt
destination/and_another.txt
How can I do this? It seems that "cp" lacks such an option
Use file globbing to copy all the files in the /labs/data directory that end with a .out to the lab05 directory.
Use file globbing to copy all the files in the /labs/data directory that start with a c, d, or n into the lab05 directory.
Create a copy of the file above and call it commands.sorted. Use the vi command to manually sort this file. I.e. use yy to copy a line, P or p to paste a line, and dd delete a line. Order the commands with the two lines starting with double quotes first. Then list the rest of the command in alphabetical order.
Anyone have any ideas what he's talking about? Can I copy a file and rename it at the same time while copying it to the same exact directory again? Now sure what the two lines things means either. I have an email out to him but it usually takes a long time for him to answer me. I got alot of work to do so everytime I get hung up it kills me.
I downloaded a mouse theme form gnome look and installed it in the themes. But it has not appeared in the pointer themes section in custimation even though it said that it is installed correctly.When I drag the file to install it again it says something along the lines of it cannot copy a directory over a directory.Where can I find where the mouse/pointer theme is located and delete it. I have searched filesystem, google and these forums and not had any luck yet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to copy all files with the name XYZ* into one folder. The problem is that the files are in different subfolders and that not even the depth of the folder structure is the same for all files. Luckily, at least each file has a unique name.
Of course, I thought about the cp command but I guess the depth of the folder structure needs to be the same for this to work.
I am trying to get the dd command to successfully copy a disk image to a remote system.Right now I am testing out the syntax by trying to copy the /dev/sda1 directory of the subject computer. The command syntax that I am using is the following:Code:dd if=/dev/sda1 ibs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror | (ssh 132.183.12.128 of=/roarchive/test obs=4096)The user account running this command is root, and the account does have key-based authentication between the source and destination computers. The command does not return any error messages, but when I check the directory on the destination system, the expected output is not there.

I have ubuntu 9.10 & windows 7 on my laptop. I have one 40GB Primary partition (C & 60 GB logical partition on my windows. I have given another 20GB for ubuntu.
I hibernated my windows7 & then started ubuntu 9.10. Then I copied a folder containing some PDF files from my ubuntu to that 60GB (D on windows. Then I rebooted the machine & choose windows from GRUB. the windows came up from hibernation but nowhere I was able to see that folder which I copied.
Since ubuntu supports (understands) NTFS file system it means when I copied that folder it should have updated the Directory Tree of NTFS on that 60GB (D but that folder is not shown.
When I restart the windows the folder appears (ofcourse because windows checks the file system again for consistency while in hibernation it does not).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI really missed the old Ubuntu file/dir. copying feature. When I copied in nautilus file explorer and paste into a terminal or text editor, I got the exact path (eg. /home/user/abc.txt), but when coming the Ubuntu 10.04, it added some "file://" prefix to the actual path (eg. file:///home/user/abc.txt), and I always had to manually delete the "file://" prefix. I don't see clearly that we need to place "file://" in front of the actual path (maybe just in the case we want to put the path in an Internet browser?). Wish this reversed back.

The --no-preserve and --preserve seemed to be good candidates, except that they should "and" the mode flags, while what I am looking for is something that will "or" them (add +w mode).
More details: I have to import a repository from GIT to Perforce. I want that all Perforce depot files are Read-Only (that is how Perforce was designed), while all other files that were derived/copied from depot files are writable. Currently if a Makefile tries to copy a Read-Only file then the derived file will also be Read-only. This leads to build-errors when cp tries to overwrite Read-Only file second time. Of course the --force is a workaround here but then the derived file is also Read-Only. Also I do not want to mess with "chmod" after each "cp" command - I will do that only as the last resort.
Imaging-copying a working remote share on WindowsNT to a local Linux disk target is needed .
Is that possible with dd command(how if remote share is connected as smb://ipnumber/share) and do you need root privilleges on local and remote machine for that?Perhapson source machine:dd if=/dev/hda bs=16065b | netcat targethost-IP 1234on target machine:netcat -l -p 1234of=/dev/hdc bs=16065borrsh 192.168.xx.yy "dd if=/dev/sda ibs=4096 onv=notrunc,noerror" | dd of=/dev/sda obs=4096(any difference to dd/privilleges if you use it as windows dd version since remote is running windowsNT)?

I have a large amout of data (several GB) on a remote drive, that is transparently mounted via nfs. I'd like to copy these files into a subdirectory of where they are already residing, so everything stays on the same physical disk. For that reason, I would like to prevent an unnecessary round trip over the network.
It seems that cp files* subdir does the naive thing and reads all the data into memory and then writes it back. Is that true? Is there a special command that does the actual copying entirely on the server the disk is physically connected to?

I'm having trouble trying to copy files from an nfs mounted remote machine during the the post install with kickstart.
My post install:
%post
mkdir /mnt/foo
mkdir /mnt/foo/downloads
mount 206.xx.xx.xxx:/downloads /mnt/foo/downloads
ln -s /mnt/foo/downloads /downloads
sed -i '$ afoo:/downloads /mnt/foo/downloads nfs exec,dev,suid,rw,bg,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 1 1' /etc/fstab
%end
%post --nochroot
cp -r /downloads/thirdparty/importantFolder /mnt/sysimage/opt
%end
Why can't I copy a directory without using -R ? It shows "cp: omitting directory" .
