ow do I copy files under Linux operating systems? How do I make 2nd copy of a file?
To copy files and directories use the cp command under Linux, UNIX, and BSD like operating systems. cp is the command entered in a Unix / Linux shell to copy a file from one place to another, possibly on a different filesystem. The original file remains unchanged, and the new file may have the same or a different name.
