Copy files into another directory
Post 302601763 by ankitha on Friday 24th of February 2012 10:55:13 AM

Thank you. It's creating the directories but not copying the files.
---------- Post updated at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous update was at 11:16 AM ----------
I guess it helps if I give the error message
cp: cannot stat `Documents/htb/able%20Pop%20Blocker.pdf': No such file or directory
My deduction is that the %20 should be a space. If I manually copy it I would be doing something like
Documents/htb/able\ Pop\ Blocker.pdf
So how do I replace the %20 with \(space)

I need to copy about 13 Tb of data from one directory and subdirectories to the other (another mount point). If I run this as a cron, say between 10 pm and 7 am, not all of the files will be copied over. Is there a way of 'resuming' the copy the following evenings until all files are copied over?
