How to copy files under centos

We can use the cp command to copy files. The syntax format is:

cp [-adfilprsu] 源文件(source) 目标文件(destination)
cp [option] source1 source2 source3 ... directory

Parameter description:

-a: means archive, It also means copying all directories

-d: If the source file is a link file, copy the link file attributes instead of the file itself

-f: force , if there are duplications or other questions, the user will not be asked, but forced to copy

-i: If the destination file (destination) already exists, it will first ask whether the operation is real when overwriting

-l: Create a hard link connection file instead of copying the file itself

-p: Copy together with the file's attributes instead of using the default attributes

-r: Recursive copy, used for directory copy operation

-s: Copy into a symbolic link file (symbolic link), that is, a "shortcut" file

-u: If the target file is older than the source file , update the target file

Example:

For example, to copy file1 in the /test1 directory to the /test3 directory and change the file name to file2, enter the following command:

cp /test1/file1 /test3/file2
