copy

copy is like cp but with a progress indicator and visual output

usage

here's how to use copy:

copy -r /path/to/source /path/to/destination

source is the file or directory you want to copy, and destination is where you want to copy it to.

the -r flag means you want to copy recursively.

if the source is a directory and the -r flag is used, all its contents including subdirectories will be copied to the destination directory.

examples

copying a single file

to copy a single file, use the path to the file as the source and the path to the destination directory (or the full path including new file name) as the destination.

copy /home/user/documents/file.txt /home/user/desktop

this will copy file.txt from the documents directory to the desktop directory.

copying a directory

to copy an entire directory, use the path to the directory as the source and the path to the parent of the destination directory as the destination, along with the -r flag.

copy -r /home/user/documents /home/user/desktop

this will copy the documents directory and all of its contents to the desktop directory.
