Thanks for this "cp" copy command, it works and has good options. In "man cp" it states the "-p" option will preserve mode, ownership and timestamp. When I copy from a backup directory it does not preserve ownership, but does keep the original timestamp, which is usually all I've worried about before. Shouldn't the ownership of the copied file be the same as the origination file when using the "cp -p filefrom fileto" command? When I copy it shows the ownership as myself instead.
