How to Copy the entire folder contents (including sub-folders and their contents) to another folder using PUTTY? Is there any command for that?

Linux
use cp
command for this
for example :
cp -r /home/hope/files/* /home/hope/backup
Windows
use XCopy
For example:
xcopy c:\temp3 /e

If you have access to a bash shell you can use the following command:
cp -r /home/dir_to_copy .
- Copies dir_to_copy
and all its contents (sub-directories and files) to the current directory.
cp -r dir_to_copy/* bak_dir
- Copies just the contents (sub-directories and files) of dir_to_copy
to a backup directory named bak_dir
, however dir_to_copy
is not copied.
I hope this helps.
@gourav I'm assuming that you are using Putty to log in into a Linux box. – bacchus – 2011-05-02T16:17:51.747

What you are looking for is pscp. It can be found on the same website as putty : http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Have fun!
EDIT : I presume that your trying to get the files from one system to another, hence the use of putty.
Do you want to copy the files to another system, or simply within the same system? – None – 2011-05-02T16:06:50.517
