[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1831233, member: 110816"] The command is a recursive force copy from source to destination. The force overwrites the destination files if they exist. The recursive will go down the folders and their sub-folders all the way down to the end. It is however still prone to failing on a single file. A crude script would be something like the following: [CODE] #!/bin/bash # Save the source directory SRC=$1 # Save the destination directory DEST=$2 # Jump to the source directory pushd $SRC # Find a list of top level directories find $SRC -type d -d 1 > /tmp/topleveldirs for dir in `cat /tmp/topleveldirs`; do pushd $dir # Create the top level directory in the destination folder if it doesn't exist. if [ ! -e $DEST/$dir ]; then mkdir $DEST/$dir fi SDIRS=`find . -type d -d 1` if [ -z $SDIRS ]; then # This folder only has files for file in `ls`; do cp $file $DEST/$dir/$file if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Unable to copy $dir/$file, moving on...." fi done else find $SRC -type d -d 1 > /tmp/subdirs for sdir in `cat /tmp/topleveldirs`; do pushd $sdir if [ ! -e $DEST/$dir/$sdir ]; then mkdir $DEST/$dir/$sdir fi SDIRS=`find . -type d -d 1` if [ -z $SDIRS ]; then # This folder only has files for file in `ls`; do cp $file $DEST/$dir/$file if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Unable to copy $dir/$file, moving on...." fi done else # Time for a recursive function. :) fi done fi done [/CODE] Something like this. This is a poorly written script, but let me write something a little more robust and post back. Can you give me a rough idea of folders and the files they hold so I can test it out? [/QUOTE]
