Terminal Copy Page

You can copy files or directories into the current directory by dragging them onto the terminal window, using the right-click context menu, or by clicking the Copy files button in the header bar . Note that the context menu also allows you to copy or paste text in the terminal (Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V can also be used to copy or paste text).

Here is an example to copy additional wallpapers into your customized environment.

cd /usr/share/backgrounds

Then simply drag the new wallpapers onto the Cubic window.

Tip: Be sure to list the new wallpapers in an XML file under /usr/share/gnome-background-properties, so they will be listed in the Change Background dialog when the user right-clicks on their desktop.

Note that the Cubic GUI currently does not support copying files over the network, but you can use the rcp or scp commands from within the terminal environment.
