cp?


(No resource fork, I would guess.)

Useful factoid: OS X has a command line app "ditto" which is kind of like cp but preserves resource fork data.

Warning!


I heard this once, and eagerly tried ditto to copy a *large* bunch of files without first checking the man pages. Seeing the files had been copied, I deleted the originals. Minutes later, I discovered the copies were all missing their resource forks.

Then I found out you need to use the -rsrcFork option with the ditto command to preserve the resource forks.

Wiser but poorer for the experience.
