What i would like to do is copy everything from Source1 and Source2 into the Destination directory. The only thing is the directories on Source1 and Source2 differ slightly with the Destination directory. I only want to copy "dir1" recursively from source1 and source2 to "dir1" in the destination directory.
i tried something like this but i am failing miserably
Code:
cd /u
find ./test/files/dir1 ./out/images/dir1 -print | cp dir1
I think the problem is whenever i use find or ls, the directories i dont want to include (test/files and out/images) are also included which is making it difficult to copy it to the exact equivalent location on the destination diretory.
by the way the os i am using is "SunOS 5.9 Generic_122300-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500"
To copy files or folders recursively use -R parameter. -R means Recursively. You also can use /test/files/dir1/* to copy all files that are located in dir1
