Linux Terminal Basics #7: Copy Files and Directories in Linux
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Copying files is one of the most basic yet crucial tasks you will be doing regularly.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux has a dedicated cp command for copying both files and directories (folders).
|
||||
|
||||
In this part of the Terminal Basics series, you'll learn to copy files and folders in the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 Just to recall, here's what you have learned so far in this Terminal Basics series:
|
||||
> - [Change directories][2]
|
||||
> - [Make new directories][3]
|
||||
> - [List directory contents][4]
|
||||
> - [Create files][5]
|
||||
> - [Reading files][6]
|
||||
> - [Removing files and directories][7]
|
||||
|
||||
Let's go on with the seventh chapter in the series.
|
||||
|
||||
### Copying files in Linux command line
|
||||
|
||||
Let me show you a few examples of copying files.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Copy a file to another directory
|
||||
|
||||
To copy one file to another directory, all you have to do is follow the given command syntax:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp Source_file Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here, I have copied a file named `Hello.txt` to the directory named `Tux`:
|
||||
|
||||
![copy file to another directory in linux command line][8]
|
||||
|
||||
And as you can see, the file has successfully been copied to the Tux directory.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Copy the file but rename it
|
||||
|
||||
You can choose to rename the file while copying it. Just give a different name to the 'target file'.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp Source_file Renamed_file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For reference, here, I have copied a file named `Hello.txt` to the same directory by renaming it to `Renamed_Hello.txt`:
|
||||
|
||||
![rename a file while copying in a same directory in linux terminal][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Why would you do that? Say, you have to edit a config file. A good practice is to make a backup of the config file in the same location before editing it. This way, you can revert to the old configuration if things don't go as planned.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Copy multiple files to another location
|
||||
|
||||
To copy multiple files to another directory, execute the command in the following fashion:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp File1 File2 File3 FileN Target_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here, I copy multiple files to a new location.
|
||||
|
||||
![copy multiple files using the cp command in linux][10]
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 When you are copying multiple files, renaming them would not be possible with just the cp command.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Deal with duplicate files while copying
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the cp command will override the file if a file with the same name exists in the target directory.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid overriding, you can use the `-n` option with the cp command, and it won't override the existing files:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -n Source_File Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here, I have tried to copy two files that were already there in my targeted directory and used `-v` option to showcase what is being done by the command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -n -v itsFOSS.txt LHB.txt LU.txt ~/Tux
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![how not to override files while copying in linux using the cp command][11]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Interactively copy files
|
||||
|
||||
But what about when you want to override some files, whereas some should be kept intact?
|
||||
|
||||
Well, you can use the cp command in the interactive mode using the `-i` option, and it will ask you each time whether the file should be overridden or not:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -i Source_file Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![how to use cp command in interactive mode][12]
|
||||
|
||||
> 🖥️ Practice all the above-discussed examples yourself. You already know about creating files and folders so recreate everything.
|
||||
|
||||
### Copy directories in Linux command line
|
||||
|
||||
There is mkdir command to make new directories, rmdir to remove (empty) directories. But there is no cpdir command for copying directories.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll have to use the same cp command but with the recursive option `-r` to copy a directory with all its content to another location:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r Source_dir Target_dir
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here, I have copied a directory named `IF` to `LHB`:
|
||||
|
||||
![how to copy a directory in linux command line][13]
|
||||
|
||||
But it copied the entire directory 🤨
|
||||
|
||||
So, what do you do when you only want to copy the directory's contents, not the directory itself?
|
||||
|
||||
Here's what you can do:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Copy only the contents of a directory (not the directory)
|
||||
|
||||
To copy only the contents of the directory, not the directory itself, you append `/.` at the end of the source directory's name:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r Source_directory/. Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here, I want to copy the contents of a directory named `IF` which contains the following three files:
|
||||
|
||||
![check the file contents of directory using the tree command][14]
|
||||
|
||||
And I will execute the following command to copy the file contents of the `IF` directory to `LHB`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r IF/. LHB
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![copy the file contents of directory not a directory itself in linux command line][15]
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use Source_directory/* here.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Copy multiple directories
|
||||
|
||||
To copy multiple directories, you will have to execute the command in the following way:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r Dir1 Dir2 Dir3 DirN Destiniation_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here, I have copied two directories named `IF` and `LU` to the `LHB`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r IF LU ~/LHB
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![copy multiple directories using the cp command in linux command line][16]
|
||||
|
||||
You can do the same when you want to copy files from multiple directories but not the directory itself:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r Dir1/. Dir2/. Dir3/. DirN/. Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![copy files from multiple directories but not directories their self using the cp command][17]
|
||||
|
||||
> 🖥️ You can also rename the directories the same way you renamed files.
|
||||
|
||||
### Test your knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
Now, let's see how much you remember the lessons learned so far.
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a directory called copy_practice
|
||||
- Copy the file /etc/services to this newly created folder
|
||||
- Create a folder named secrets under this directory and copy files /etc/passwd and /etc/services in it
|
||||
- Copy the services file in copy_practice to the secrets folder but don't overwrite it
|
||||
- Copy the secrets folder to your home directory
|
||||
- Delete the secrets and copy_practice directories
|
||||
|
||||
That would give you some practice.
|
||||
|
||||
It's going well so far. You have learned quite a few things. In the next chapter, you'll see about moving files and folders with mv command.

Linux 终端基础知识 #7:在 Linux 中复制文件和目录
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
复制文件是你经常执行的最基本但最重要的任务之一。
|
||||
|
||||
Linux 有一个专门的 cp 命令用于复制文件和目录(文件夹)。
|
||||
|
||||
在终端基础知识系列的这一部分中,你将学习在终端中复制文件和文件夹。
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 回想一下,以下是你迄今为止在本终端基础知识系列中所学到的内容:
|
||||
> - [更改目录][2]
|
||||
> - [创建新目录][3]
|
||||
> - [列出目录内容][4]
|
||||
> - [创建文件][5]
|
||||
> - [读取文件][6]
|
||||
> - [删除文件和目录][7]
|
||||
|
||||
让我们继续该系列的第七章。
|
||||
|
||||
### 在 Linux 命令行中复制文件
|
||||
|
||||
让我向你展示一些复制文件的示例。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 将文件复制到另一个目录
|
||||
|
||||
要将一个文件复制到另一目录,你所要做的就是遵循给定的命令语法:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp Source_file Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
例如,在这里,我将名为 `Hello.txt` 的文件复制到名为 `Tux` 的目录中:
|
||||
|
||||
![copy file to another directory in linux command line][8]
|
||||
|
||||
正如你所看到的,文件已成功复制到 Tux 目录中。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 复制文件但重命名
|
||||
|
||||
你可以选择在复制文件时重命名该文件。只需为“目标文件”指定一个不同的名称即可。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp Source_file Renamed_file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
作为参考,在这里,我将名为 `Hello.txt` 的文件复制到同一目录,并将其重命名为 `Renamed_Hello.txt`:
|
||||
|
||||
![rename a file while copying in a same directory in linux terminal][9]
|
||||
|
||||
为什么要这么做? 比如说,你必须编辑配置文件。一个好的做法是在编辑配置文件之前在同一位置对其进行备份。这样,如果事情没有按计划进行,你可以恢复到旧配置。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 将多个文件复制到另一个位置
|
||||
|
||||
要将多个文件复制到另一个目录,请按以下方式执行命令:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp File1 File2 File3 FileN Target_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
在这里,我将多个文件复制到新位置。
|
||||
|
||||
![copy multiple files using the cp command in linux][10]
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 当你复制多个文件时,仅使用 cp 命令无法重命名它们。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 复制时处理重复文件
|
||||
|
||||
默认情况下,如果目标目录中存在同名文件,cp 命令将覆盖该文件。
|
||||
|
||||
为了避免覆盖,你可以在 cp 命令中使用 `-n` 选项,它不会覆盖现有文件:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -n Source_File Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
例如,在这里,我尝试复制目标目录中已有的两个文件,并使用 `-v` 选项来展示该命令正在执行的操作:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -n -v itsFOSS.txt LHB.txt LU.txt ~/Tux
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![how not to override files while copying in linux using the cp command][11]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 交互式复制文件
|
||||
|
||||
但是,当你想要覆盖某些文件,而某些文件应该保持不变时该怎么办?
|
||||
|
||||
好吧,你可以使用 `-i` 选项在交互模式下使用 cp 命令,它每次都会询问你是否应该覆盖该文件:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -i Source_file Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![how to use cp command in interactive mode][12]
|
||||
|
||||
> 🖥️ 自己练习上述所有示例。你已经了解如何创建文件和文件夹,因此请重新创建所有内容。
|
||||
|
||||
### 在 Linux 命令行中复制目录
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir 命令用于创建新目录,rmdir 命令用于删除(空)目录。但没有用于复制目录的 cpdir 命令。
|
||||
|
||||
你必须使用相同的 cp 命令,但使用递归选项 `-r` 将目录及其所有内容复制到另一个位置:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r Source_dir Target_dir
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
例如,在这里,我将名为 `IF` 的目录复制到 `LHB`:
|
||||
|
||||
![how to copy a directory in linux command line][13]
|
||||
|
||||
但它复制了整个目录。🤨
|
||||
|
||||
那么,当你只想复制目录内容而不是目录本身时该怎么办?
|
||||
|
||||
你可以执行以下操作:
|
||||
|
||||
#### 仅复制目录的内容(不是目录)
|
||||
|
||||
要仅复制目录的内容,而不复制目录本身,请在源目录名称的末尾附加 `/.`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r Source_directory/. Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
在这里,我想复制名为 `IF` 的目录的内容,其中包含以下三个文件:
|
||||
|
||||
![check the file contents of directory using the tree command][14]
|
||||
|
||||
我将执行以下命令将 `IF` 目录的文件内容复制到 `LHB`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r IF/. LHB
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![copy the file contents of directory not a directory itself in linux command line][15]
|
||||
|
||||
你还可以在此处使用 Source_directory/* 。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 复制多个目录
|
||||
|
||||
要复制多个目录,你必须按以下方式执行命令:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r Dir1 Dir2 Dir3 DirN Destiniation_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
例如,在这里,我将两个名为 `IF` 和 `LU` 的目录复制到 `LHB`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r IF LU ~/LHB
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![copy multiple directories using the cp command in linux command line][16]
|
||||
|
||||
当你想要从多个目录复制文件但不复制目录本身时,你可以执行相同的操作:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cp -r Dir1/. Dir2/. Dir3/. DirN/. Destination_directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![copy files from multiple directories but not directories their self using the cp command][17]
|
||||
|
||||
> 🖥️ 你还可以像重命名文件一样重命名目录。
|
||||
|
||||
### 测试你的知识
|
||||
|
||||
现在,让我们看看你对到目前为止所学到的知识还记得多少。
|
||||
|
||||
- 创建一个名为 copy_practice 的目录。
|
||||
- 将文件 /etc/services 复制到这个新创建的文件夹。
|
||||
- 在此目录下创建一个名为 secrets 的文件夹,并将文件 /etc/passwd 和 /etc/services 复制到其中。
|
||||
- 将 copy_practice 中的 services 文件复制到 secrets 文件夹中,但不要覆盖它。
|
||||
- 将 secrets 文件夹复制到你的主目录。
|
||||
- 删除 secrets 和 copy_practice 目录。
|
||||
|
||||
这会给你一些练习。
|
||||
|
||||
到目前为止进展顺利。你已经学到了很多东西。在下一章中,你将了解如何使用 mv 命令移动文件和文件夹。
