May 4, 2010I recently had to rescue files from a dying hard drive using Photorec. However, it dumped the files randomly in many different directories. Is there a way I can transfer the contents of these directories into one master directory without the file structure. For example, I have folders 1 through 10 as subdirectories in folder X. How can I transfer the contents of all those folders into folder Y while getting rid of the subdirectories 1 - 10?

May 17, 2010Ubuntu 10.04
I want to copy all directories, files, and hidden files and hidden directories with one command. I want these items to replace any same items in the target directory.
I have tried several things, such as:

Ubuntu :: Rm Directories Only - Not Files - When Doing Rm -r Foo*
Feb 28, 2011How do I delete just directories and not files when performing a "rm -r foo*" command? E.G. I have foobar.txt foofoo.o foorebar.jpg and foo/ foonuggets/ and footemp/ in a directory. In one fell swoop how do I delete just the directories and preserve the files?
Seeing as how I only use the -r switch when removing directories I accidentally ran this command and removed files that I wanted (luckily nothing vital). Lesson learned now I want to prevent ever doing that on files that *are* vital.
Fedora :: How To Transfer Files
Mar 13, 2010im running fedora 12 and am relatively new to linux..i have been unsuccessful researching this issue.a complex task for an otherwise simple question.perhaps the phrase is not native to linux but the operation is universal.how to transfer filesr move files from one location to another.on windows there was a tweek i found that added an option to the context menu "move to".it would physically move the file.any file to any location.fedora has "send to" but leaves the original and may not be the correct method.fedora also has copy/paste but does that duplicate or merely produce a copy?i want to transfer or move video files both small and large and audio files as well.i want to move them from one hd to another.code is possible but would prefer a more manual solution such as an application or context menu option.perhaps copy/paste would be legit enough for linux and i can see why.but for windows copy/paste and "send to" were considered sub standard methods of file transfer.

Jun 26, 2011I have a laptop connected to the internet through wifi, and a desktop connected directly to the router. I can trasnfer files of any size, with scp, from the desktop to the laptop; on the other hand, I can transfer small files (a 4,0K file, for example), but not files with some tens of megabytes, from the laptop to the desktop.
When I try to transfer a big file, the transmission starts at normal speed (around 2 mb/s), and then it slows down, and the message "stalled" appears where the remaining time was.

View 6 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Transfer Files Over A LAN Between Two Computers?
Aug 22, 2011I want to transfer files (a music folder) between two Linux computers. After searching for the best way to do this, I've seen that there are lots of ways of doing this. I know this has been asked a lot, everywhere and all the time. The main problem with this is that there is no clear, recent consensus on one best way to do this task in 2011 for Linux beginners (even depending on some parameters).
So in the spirit of the Stack Exchange websites, I want this not to be related to my particular situation, but more of a guide to others as well on how to transfer files between two Linux computers over a local network. I think a wiki would be useful for many.
Here's what I found so far:
ssh
sshfs
scp
sftp
nfs
samba
giver
What is the easiest? Most flexible? Simplest? Best solution? What are the pros and cons of each? Are there other (better) options? What are the parameters in choosing the best method (solution might depend on number of files, filesize, easiness vs. flexibility, )?
General :: Transfer A Zip File That Contains .txt Files Using Ftp Put?
Sep 13, 2011I am transferring a file from a linux pc going to a windows ftp server using "ftp put". My file is a zip file that includes .txt files inside it. Here is what's happening when I transferred this file :I used ftp put for transferring and found that my transferred zip file was corrupted and couldn't be opened on the ftp server.I found the solution for this on the internet. I needed to use 'binary' to make it right.
I transferred again using binary and then ftp put the zip file onto the other end. Yes, it worked. My zip file wasn't corrupted anymore and I could already opened it on the ftp server. But the problem remains on the .txt files inside it. Converting the file into binary made my .txt files to be distorted and unreadable. I read from the internet that .txt files need to use Ascii instead of Binary to be readable, but if I use ascii it would cause my zip file to be corrupted again. I need to successfully transfer a zip file that contains .txt files using ftp put.
