Manipulation
cp Part II
To copy multiple files into a directory, use cp
with a list of source files as the first arguments, and the destination directory as the last argument. Here, we copy the files file1.txt and file2.txt into the same directory.
cp file1.txt file2.txt my_directory/
Note that you can access the layout of the filesystem here.
Instructions
1.
Type the pwd
command. Note that we’re back in the movies/ directory again.
Copy drama/biopic/ray.txt and drama/biopic/notorious.txt into the drama/historical/ directory.
2.
Using a single ls
command, look at the contents of the historical/ directory.
