copy files

[lintow]

I want to create a script to copy files from on directory to another.

Question is: I have a file or files that start with phpdird_111 and phpdird_122 and so on.. I could have 20 to 30 files like this with the begining name
(phpdird_and any number)

So I want to copy all the file that start with phpdird

How can this be done....I guess its like a (like value) or something like that.

any help would be apprecaited

cp phpdird* /your/destination/directory

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that noboby appreciates how difficult it was.

cp -pv phpdird_* /path/to/target/.

-p: preserve owner
-v: verbose

Cheers.

how would I copy them from my unix box to a windows pc from the script.

why don't you started with that wuestion???

use samba or scp.

 

[lintow]

Sorry...Is there a way to do that

 

[Chacalinc]

you can use samba in order to mount some shared folder from the windows in your unix and copy as posted:

mount -t smbfs //ip_host_windows/shared_folder /mnt

then cp files /mnt/.

Cheers.
