linux - Should I put trailing slash after source and destination when copy folders -
i want copy folder:ajax(/home/thej/public_html/jc/ajax) folder: /home/thej/public_html/demo/conf/ final result /home/thej/public_html/demo/conf/ajax, know cp command should like:
cp -r /home/thej/public_html/jc/ajax /home/thej/public_html/demo/conf
my question is:
should put
/afterajax,ajax/?should put
/afterconf,conf/?
i googled online, put '/', not, confused it.
i try put trailing / on target.
if make mistake , source , target both files rather directories, adding / means i'll error; without / clobber target file.
(tab completion add trailing / anyway, it's easier add not.)
see volker siegel's answer more details.
