You can verify the meaning of * by: ls -ld * If that displays correct files and directories, cp -pr * ../ will the same files and directories into the destination directory. If you want to be even more sure, use dry rsync run: rsync -an --progress * ./ If you like the print out, just

I am sorry, Michael. Until a couple of days ago I would get messages from PLUG. On Topic and Respectful, or something like that. Now all I am getting is the digest, and I am not accustomed to having to change the subject. Is there a way to get back to the usual behavior? -Denis On Sun, Sep
