File Management

Managing files with common CLI tools rsync, mv, cp, scp etc.

# trailing slash affects whether source gets copied or not
cp -r ./old_dir ./new_dir  # will copy old_dir into new_dir
cp -r ./old_dir/ ./new_dir # will copy everyhing inside old_dir to new_dir

# unlike cp trailing slash does not have affect. scp will always copy the source_dir
scp -rP 2222 kalenpw@kalenpw.com:/path/to/file.txt ./dest_file
