[QUOTE="kupak, post: 310996, member: 25865"] Mv or cp don't work either. You will get: "-bash: /bin/mv: Argument list too long" since the asterix is interpreted by the shell which just creates a huge argument list for the command. Go for some pro file manager. The 65k limit is for the selection, if you are copying one folder with 100000000 sub-items it is ok. [/QUOTE]
