The cp command also copies entire directories into other directories if you specify the -r or -R flags. You can also copy special-device files using the -R flag.
Highlight the files you want to copy. Press the keyboard shortcut Command + C . Move to the location you want to move the files and press Command + V to copy the files.
The syntax is simple, too. Use cp followed by the file you want to copy and the destination where you want it moved. That, of course, assumes that your file is in the same directory you're working out of. You can specify both.
In order to copy a directory on Linux, you have to execute the “cp” command with the “-R” option for recursive and specify the source and destination directories to be copied.
mv in unix-ish systems, move in dos/windows.
e.g.
C:\> move c:\users\you\somefile.txt c:\temp\newlocation.txt and
$ mv /home/you/somefile.txt /tmp/newlocation.txt use the xclip which is command line interface to X selections
apt-get install xclip echo "test xclip " > /tmp/test.xclip xclip -i < /tmp/test.xclip xclip -o > /tmp/test.xclip.out cat /tmp/test.xclip.out # "test xclip" enjoy.
