Hi all,
I would like to know if it's possible, and if so how, to merge folders,
including sub-folders.
What I want to learn is what command(s) are needed to compare two
folders, including the sub folders within, and copy all data from one
folder that is not a repetition, to another.
The structure looks like this:
/location a/foldername/subfolder 1/subfolder 2/ and so on
/location b/foldername/subfolder 1/ subfolder2/ and so on
Where the folders' and sub folders' names are identical in each case,
only the location is different.
I want the contents of </location a> compared with the contents of
</location b>, and those files that are not the same copied to
</location b>. Similarly </location a/subfolder 1>, compared and copied
to </location b/subfolder 1>, and so on down the file tree.
Can this be done in one command? or do I need to repeat the steps
required for each level in the tree?
I hope the above is clear, if not, please ask for clarification.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Clay.
