ok, tell them dumb linux user how to properly copy directories recursivly, so he can stop overwritng directories with source files. /humor ok seriously, tho, i think im doing it wrong. last night i blasted some directories, and when i looked at the destination of where i was supposed t= o be copying to, it was full of all kinds of junk that was supposed to be in the top level of the directories i was copying. example, i want to copy /mnt/usb1/path/oldfolder (the folded all its recursive contents) into /home/mydir im pretty sure i have the syntax wrong, so could someone enlighten me? thanks! jonathan
