Telnet Question
 

Hello,

Can someone tell me how i can copy in telnet on a linux server a directory to another directory

i cant find out why :(

Thanks

Martien

Regardless if it's telnet, any type of shell.

cp -R /dir1 /dir2

-R = recurse the directory

A simple cp /dir1 to /dir2 will complain about it being a directory.

Use the "cp" command. If you don't know how to use it, type
"cp --help"

It's like that : "cp -R dir1 dir2"

Thanks for the help :))

Does this also works when the target dir is in a other subdir ?

yeah it does, like "cp -R /home/roger /home/roger/public_html/darn/"

:thumbsup
