FWIW, if you're unsure, if you did use correct commands, you should diff folders. E.g. the asterisk on Linux does behave different to this wildcard on other OS. spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a . .. folder_A spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a folder_A . .. folder_B testA .testA spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a folder_A/folder_B . .. testB .testB spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ cp -r folder_A/* ~/Desktop spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a . .. folder_A folder_B testA spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a folder_B . .. testB .testB The hidden file .testA wasn't, but the hidden file .testB was copied. Solving this issue isn't hard to do, but when using several combinations of wildcards to copy just files, that include something wanted in their file names, shell-globbing can become a PITA. Did you do tests with listing the folder you wish recursively and completely to copy? spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a folder_A/* folder_A/testA folder_A/folder_B: . .. testB .testB spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a folder_A/ . .. folder_B testA .testA spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a folder_A/. . .. folder_B testA .testA spinymouse-s...@64studio:~/Desktop$ ls -a folder_A/.[!.]* folder_A/.testA etc. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
