The first example, below, moves a file (readme.doc) from the diskette to the current directory (indicated by the "." symbol). The second example copies a file (readme2.doc) from the diskette to the current directory. The third example copies a directory (morefiles) and everything below it from the diskette to the current directory.
$ mv /floppy/floppy0/readme.doc . $ cp /floppy/floppy0/readme2.doc . $ cp -r /floppy/floppy0/morefiles . |
