[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1912455, member: 110816"] "-r" is recursive, "-p" is preserve. * is everything. So you are tell the 'cp' command to recursively go through everything in the current folder and everything in a sub-folder and copy it to the destination folder without changing anything. With the '-r' option, you don't need the */*, just a * is sufficient since it will just keep going down to the lowest level sub-folder. [/QUOTE]
