Jack Wallen continues his Linux 101 series, with an introduction on how to copy files and directories from the command line.

You can run a series of Linux commands to copy multiple files to a folder or copy a single file to multiple folders, but you can save time and trouble by using xargs, loops and scripts.

Knowing how to copy a directory in Linux systems like Ubuntu and Mint is essential for anyone looking to keep their computer's file system organized and efficient.

If you want to see the content of that directory just run the ‘ls’ command. Create directory We use ‘mkdir’ (make directory) command to create new directories.

If you need to share or transfer files between Linux machines, you have plenty of options. Here are some you might not have considered.
