problems with "cp" (reliant unix 5.43)
Hi,
I've got a problem with the copy - command (reliant unix 5.43). It appears to me rather difficult to copy large amount of data. A command like "cp *.jpg" is simply refused. Does anybody know something about such a kind of restriction? Something like ... only 256 files could be copied at once. Perhaps it stays in relation with the file-system. It still appears strange to me ... Thanks in advance! sysadv

Probably a problem with the maximum length of the command line arguments.
"*" is expanded by the shell, not read by cp, so it has to pass all filenames on a single line. Try something like this: Code:
for i in *.jpg; do cp "$i" /destdir/; done hth, M.
