thank you,
in the first directory i have only 1 extension (ext1)

and the second directory i have 3 extensions(ext1,ext2,ext3)
@Leion the copy should be made based on the files that have the same name and not everything .. is what you wrote will do the trick ??

Alternative
Code:
for i in $(ls allextdirectory| grep -v ext1)
do
cp $i ext1directory
done

can you please tell me where in this code you copy based on the same file name in the 2 directories?? because i did not understand it ..
