I'm about to show my ability for complete lack of understanding/comprehension on how to do something.
I got my new external hard drive today, and wanting to copy a directory from the drive that is failing, to the new one, and it's turning into a king sized headache.
I'm missing the boat somewhere. I attempted using the cp command, it told me the place I chose to send it wasn't a directory. The command I used was:
cp media/lardeb/My Passport* //CLONED STOR/The Night Sky/
The drive is named: /media/lardeb (/dev/sgd1) And the directory I want to copy is named: The Night Sky
I want to move all files in that dirctory to:
The drive is named: /media/lardeb/CLONED STOR (/dev/sgh1) And the directory I want to send it to would be: The Night Sky
I obviously messed up on the command string somewhere, But I've got no clue as to where. So...HELP PLEASE, what should the command string be?
I'd do it manually, but there are almost 4,000 files in the directory.
Thanks Again. And Happy Thanksgiving to all who observe it.
