... so, of course I usd mc to copy the file-tree, then I noticed that mc showed:-- |/.dbus | 4096|Dec 9 17:25| |/.gnuzilla | 4096|Dec 9 17:25| |/.kde | 4096|Dec 9 17:26| |/.links | 4096|Dec 10 15:29| |/.mc | 4096|Dec 12 12:04| |/.mozilla | 4096|Dec 9 17:25| |/.pan2 | 4096|Dec 14 18:52| |/.wilybak | 4096|Dec 11 19:08| |/.xine | 4096|Dec 9 17:25| | .Xauthority | 103|Dec 9 16:39| | .bash_history | 43|Dec 11 11:07| | .blackboxrc | 1425|Dec 11 17:52| | .servera~h.13990| 54|Dec 9 16:39| | .xinitrc | 530|Dec 9 16:39| | KogiRootDir | 931|Dec 12 12:04|
and then I remembered that instead of copying the whole tree, there was only a file: KogiRootDir | 931. It seems that the problem is related to: `ls /*` does NOT show <dotted Files> by default; whereas mc is much better. Still I want to know how to do this simple task as a command-line. == TIA.
