Hi again.
Guys? How do I copy a file from one directory to another?
the file I want to copy is ./usr/home/boole/MSNBOT/eggdrop.simple.conf to ./usr/home/boole/blindybot1
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance..
Shaun..

Hi
You use the cp command. So you'd type the following:
cp /usr/home/boole/MSNBOT/eggdrop.simple.conf /usr/home/boole/blindybot1
Note that . (dot) denotes the current directory, making it unnecessary in
most cases (this one included). The only time it's useful generally is
either to move something to your current directory or to run a program in
your current directory.
Geoff.
