Move The Entire Contents Of A Directory Tree To Another Directory
Sep 18, 2008
I want to move the entire contents of a directory tree to another directory.
So for example we may have a directory with 15 directories inside, each directory contains files itself. I want to copy all the files from the directory tree into another directory located somewhere else one the file system. I want only the "files" to end up in the other directory and not the file structure too.
Zip the contents of a directory (/path/to/dir/*) and then include a file in that zip that is located here: /a/whole/different/path/file.jpg. Is there a ZIP parameter that allows me to include that JPG file in the ZIP file that I am creating? Can someone give me the command?
Also, instead of zipping the contents inside of the "dir" directory, can I zip the "dir" directory itself but exclude the full path when creating the zip (/path/to/ part). I can do this with the -j parameter but when I do it also excludes the "dir" directory and only ZIPs the content inside of it.
What is Linux command for compressing all the files under a Directory, as well as all the files in sub-directories under that directory, so that upon uncompression the files are created in the right directory and sub-directory.
Also of course what is the command to un-compress this compressed file?
In case: the Linux OS here is Redhat Enterprise and the web server is Apache.
Can anyone tell me a simple way in Bash to copy all of the contents of a directory (and only the contents), including hidden files, into another, existing directory?
E.g.
Code:
# I have this directory structure - directory_A --- existing_file - - directory_B --- some_file --- some_subdirectory --- .some_hidden_file
I was just wondering is it possible to move a directory to another server through SSH?
I bought a website a few weeks ago and I have all the files on the server except 30gb of content, now I've tried to put the folder into a tar archive but every time I try it brings up this error:
So I need a way to drag that folder from the old server to my new server through SSH because it will take me ages downloading and uploading all the content.
I want to move the data directory to another partition on all nodes. Apache (vhost), IIS (vhost), MySQL (databases) and Postfix (mailbox content). What's the correct way to do this without breaking functionality of PPA?
There is a directory say, "Master" and inside, "Master" there is sub-directory, "Slave". A user who has access to, "Master" should be able to access, "Slave" automatically. However, a user who has access to, "Slave" should not have access to, "Master". Inside cPanel this type of protection is not possible.
If we want to Create output of "Tar" a directory ; to different server, how can we do that ?
I tried this command, but it does not works
tar -cvf oldserverzip.tar /directory | ssh newserver@newserver.com Basically, what we want is to shift a site "dump" to another server, without creating a copy at source server (as there is no space available there to create a "dump")
how I go about unlocking my bin directory and making it writable again. I tried to do installworld with the latest freebsd release and as soon as it gets to the bin directory I get a permissions denied error. I looked at the permissions and ownership compared to another freebsd box and they all look the same. I tried to create a file by using touch just to test it and I received permission denied error.
I want to have a directory that i want to set up so you can only a script can see files in a directory. They will be getting the file names from the database, i have turned off directory browsing. I have also set up a Robots.txt and stopped robots from scanning the directory. Is there anything else i can do?
Also is there and software that allows you to download an entire site. Even if it is gigs of content. If so, how do i set it so it will stop that from happening. I am on linux. Centos running Cpanel.
I know that /www is an alias (symlink) for public_html, but I came across an account with virtual_html. Is there a difference between virtual_html and public_html? And while I assume secure_html is for secure files, how does it tie in?
I have 10 GB partition and we have mount /var direcotry and now it has been full 97% what can i do and how to manage it and i have no other option because no other space is available to create new partition and mount there.
the caching directory I created for eaccelerator deleted by itself. There are 2 copies of eaccelerator, one for apache and one for litespeed. The one for Apache got deleted today. Could it be due to the fact that the directory hasn't been modified or accessed in nearly 2 weeks? It's been that long since Apache was used.
I need to be able to access resources such as PDFs, videos from my website once a user has logged in but I need to block users being able to access the resources from a url?
i updated my old pages on the ftp directory wwwroot.. i deleted the old files and inserted new pages with new names.. now i am not able to see the new website if i type the exact address..the old page is still being viewed. wheras if i omit the www part from the addres i am able to see the new page..
I would like to make some kind of script (probably .sh?) that automatically takes a directory, makes a copy of it then makes a gzip tar and then shoots it over to an FTP server. I would like this to happen twice a day (ie. every 12 hours).
