copying of files by userB, dir & files owned by userA
I am userB and have a dir
/temp1
This dir is owned by me.
How do I recursively copy files from another users's dir userA?
I need to preserve the original user who created files, original group information, original create date, mod date etc.
I tried
cp -pr /home/userA/* .
but it shows the files as being created by me.
So how do I do this?
Thanks in advance.
