Jack Wallen continues his Linux 101 series, with an introduction on how to copy files and directories from the command line.

If you need to share or transfer files between Linux machines, you have plenty of options. Here are some you might not have considered.

Those are some of the basics of using command line to manage your directories on Linux based distributions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below.

From the command line, type "backup.bat" and the batch file will run your specified commands: first, copying all files from that directory, then renaming them to remove the extensions.

Instead of re-creating your tar archives when you need to add files, why not simply append those files? Jack Wallen shows you how from the command line and a GUI file manager on Linux.
