17.5 Copying, Moving and Renaming Files and Directories 267

-f – force. Copies without prompting you for conﬁrmation that the ﬁle should be overwritten.

Unless you’re sure you want to force the copy, you probably don’t want to make friends with

this option right now.

-v - verbose. Will show the progress of the ﬁles being copied.

Just by using cp alone, you won’t see much when the command is executed. Using an option, such

as -i, can make the process a little more useful, because if you want to copy a ﬁle to a location that

already has a ﬁle with the same name, you’ll be asked ﬁrst if you really want to overwrite – meaning

replace – the ﬁle that’s already there.

Tip: Remember that among your options is -f (force), which can overwrite ﬁles with-

out asking you if you’re certain. Make sure, when you use the force option, that you

really want to overwrite a ﬁle.

Now that we have the ﬁle sneakers.txt in the tigger directory, let’susecp -i to copy the ﬁle

again to the same location.

[billy@localhost billy]$ cp -i sneakers.txt tigger

cp: overwrite ’tigger/sneakers.txt’?

If we want to overwrite the ﬁle that’s already there, we can press

Y and then Enter . If we think we

don’t want to overwrite the ﬁle, now’s the time to press

N and Enter .

17.5.2 Moving Files

To move ﬁles, use the mv command (man mv), which is similar to the cp command, except that with

mv the ﬁle is physically moved from one place to another, instead of being duplicated, as with cp.

Common options available with mv include:

-i – interactive. Will prompt you if the ﬁle you’ve selected will overwrite an existing ﬁle in the

destination directory. This is a good option, because like the -i option in cp,you’ll be given

the chance to make sure you want to replace an existing ﬁle.

-f – force. Overrides the interactive mode and moves without prompting. Unless you know

what you’re doing, this option doesn’t play nice; be very careful about using it until you be-

come more comfortable with your system.

-v – verbose. Shows a list of the ﬁles being moved.
