    xcopy command line equivalent

    New to Linux, does anyone know if there is an xcopy equivalent for the linux command line?

    If there isn’t does anyone know where I could find the code to do it without learning unix from scratch?

    I believe you're looking for rsync.

    Regular "cp" will do all that xcopy does, and much more. rsync is ideal if you want to synchronize two directory trees, though it can also be used as a copy tool.

    To get additional info about a given command you can use "man" to see its manual page.

    Code:
    man cp
