C Shell problems

[Ice]

I'm having problems getting a C Shell script to work. The script is supposed to take all the files in a directory and transfer them to another directory. Simple enough, right? Well, when I execute the script, it just acts like the copy command isn't even there. When I use that very same command at the prompt, it works perfectly. Is there anything I need to put in the script besides the copy command to make this work? Any help is much appreciated...

A C shell script? Do you mean bash? Anyway paste your script. Just a thought but you might have to set the patch to cp in the script before executing it.

Something like this maybe..

#!/bin/sh

# Directory where your files are located
FILEDIR=/tmp/filedir

# Directory to where the files should be copied.
DESTDIR=/tmp/otherdir


if [ -d $FILEDIR ]
   then
   cd $FILEDIR
   FILES=`find . -type f`
else
   echo "Filedir:$FILEDIR doesnt exist"
    exit 1
fi

for i in $FILES
     do
      echo "Copying $i to $DESTDIR"
      cp $i $DESTDIR

      if [ $? = 0 ]
         then
         echo "Succeeded"
      else
         echo "Copy failed"
         exit 1
     fi
done

Or maybe:

cp -R /tmp/filedir/* /tmp/otherdir
