copy a folder with replace?

copy a folder with replace?

[Littlefield, tyler]

Hello list,
I was wondering if there is a way to do this.
I've got two folders, both called x.
each has different files, and at times, the same files.
Is there a way to get linux to copy the new files over to the specified folder?
It tried, and gave me a bunch of blank folders once, and tried again, and I don't know what the problem is.
Thanks,

Have you tried `rsync'?

HTH, and have a great day.
