another newbie question

[vile10]

how do i create a script file which will copy all the files in one file directory to another file directory.

using cp? how do i write the whoel thing?

thank you very much

The command to do this would be

cp -r /place/where/files/are/* /place /where/files/go/

If you want to make a bash script out of that, just do:

#!/bin/bash

cp -r /place/where/files/are/* /place /where/files/go/

save the file and then

chmod +x filename

hope this helps
