Full Discussion: Copy file into directories and sub-directories
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Copy file into directories and sub-directories Post 302323145 by jim mcnamara on Friday 5th of June 2009 01:56:57 PM

Let's assume dir1, dir2, etc live off the same parent directory - call it parent.

Code:
find parent/dir1 parent/dir2 parent/dir3 [and so on to ] parent/dir17 -type d |
while read directory 
do
    cp /home/me/file.js $directory
done

-----Post Update-----

If dir1 .. dir17 are all of the directories:

Code:
cd parent
find . -type d |
while read directory 
do
    cp /home/me/file.js $directory
done

rfmkdir

RFMKDIR(1)							Rfio User Commands							RFMKDIR(1)

NAME

       rfmkdir - make remote directories

SYNOPSIS

       rfmkdir [ -m mode ] [ -p ] directory...

DESCRIPTION

       rfmkdir	provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for creating remote directories in mode 777 (possibly altered by
       umask(1)).  The directory argument is either a remote directory name of the form:

	      hostname:path

       or a local directory name (not containing the :/ character combination). Creation of a directory requires write permission  in  the  parent
       directory.

OPTIONS

       The following options apply to rfmkdir:

       -m mode
	      This option allows users to specify the mode to be used for the new directories.	Choices for modes can be found in chmod(1).

       -p     With this option, rfmkdir creates dirname by creating all the non-existing parent directories first.

SEE ALSO

       mkdir(1), umask(1), mkdir(2), rfiod(1)
