How Do I Copy and Rename Linux Files?

Copying Files

Copying files under Linux is similar to copying files under DOS. Here's an example using the cp (copy) command:
$ cp goulash recipes/hungarian
$ cp stuff stuff.bak

The first example copies the goulash file from the current directory and stores it in your recipes/hungarian directory. The second example creates a file called stuff.bak in the current directory that is identical to the source file stuff.

Note: The cp command will overwrite files with the same name without warning. To be prompted before overwriting, use the -i flag, like so:

$ cp -i goulash recipes/hungarian
cp: overwrite recipes/hungarian/goulash (y/n)?

Renaming Files

Use the mv command to rename a file or move it to another directory, like so:

$ mv stuff junk
$ mv junk trashcan

The first example renames the file stuff as junk, and the second moves the file junk into a directory called trashcan.

Note: The mv command will wipe out files without warning. To be prompted before overwriting, use the -i flag, like so:

$ mv -i stuff junk
mv: overwrite junk (y/n)?
