Unix command to copy files selectively

Hi,

I'm new to Unix and am trying to write a copy command for the following scenario: Copy all .tif files from the src directory to dest directory but exclude the ones under archive directory.

In other words, I'm trying to write the unix cp equivalent of the following ant target:

Code:

<target name="copy_graphics">
  <copy overwrite="true" todir="${target.dir}">
    <fileset dir="${source.dir}" includes="**/*.tif" excludes="archive/**"/>
  </copy>
</target>

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Anand
