Copying a file

To copy a file:

Enter the “cp” command, followed by the path to the file to be copied and the path to the new file.

For example:

cp oneFile secondFile

A duplicate of the file oneFile is created and named secondFile.

The cp command overwrites a file if the new filename you specify already exists.

For more information on copying files, see the cp man page by entering “man cp” in the Terminal window.
