copy files with invalid names
Hi all,
I have to copy a directory to another location. While doing so with the cp command I got some errors due to invalid filenames of some files.
For example, some files have a colon in their names, which is throwing error. These files are not copied to the destination.
How to copy the entire directory irrespective of the invalid filenames of some file?
