To fix this error, you need to give it the -r option (argument).
In order for your command to work, it should look like this: Code: cp -r /var/www/html/ /var/web/html/
To DELETE the whole and complete directory without a prompt, do this command: (be careful, there's no going back once you delete it) Code: rm -fc directory_name
* directory_name is whatever directory you want to delete. :: 2 :: #1232 - Reply By Fidelis On Tue Apr 03, 2007 11:39 am
