RE: [cobalt-users] Anyone know how to rename and copy in SSH



Hi Ian,

Sorry if I did not get the question right ...

To copy files you can use the 'cp' command.
For a full list type 'man cp' ... 

To rename files you will use the 'mv' command ...

So 'mv *.log /home/logs' will move all the log files in the current
directory to home/logs

'man' will give you the help of all commands 

Some basic unix commands (I did a quick search on www.google.com to grab
you a page) http://www.emba.uvm.edu/CF/basic.html


One last remark ... You better su to a normal user when experimenting
and don't do it with root before you get the hang of it ... Cause rm -r
/* will probably have some nasty side effects.
