The “cp” command stands for copy. It makes copies of files or directories.

1. Change your directory to the folder2 directory.
2. Copy the contents of folder2 (temp_file21 and temp_file22) to folder1

[root@localhost folder2]# cp temp_file21 temp_file22 ../folder1

3. List the contents of folder1.


[root@localhost folder2]# ls ../folder1

temp_file11 temp_file12 temp_file21 temp_file22


4. List the contents of folder2. Note that the original copies of temp_file21 and
temp_file22 remain in folder2.

[root@localhost folder2]# ls

temp_file21 temp_file22
