linux: which is the right way to copy folder? -


i want copy folder ajax_search, path: /home/thejobco/public_html/jccore/ajax_search/ inside foler:/home/thejobco/public_html/demo/typo3conf/ext/, should run command way:

cp -r /home/thejobco/public_html/jccore/ajax_search/ /home/thejobco/public_html/demo/typo3conf/ext/

or

cp -r /home/thejobco/public_html/jccore/ajax_search/ /home/thejobco/public_html/demo/typo3conf/ext

i familiar window, not unix/linux, put / after ajax_search, know way ajax_search/, shows ajax_search folder, not know should put / after ext or not? can explain me right way copy folder? thanks

with cp, if destination directory exists , not use trailing slash on source-dir, then putting copy of source-dir inside dest-dir; can problem when forgot destination directory exists.

you should include trailing slash, make obvious cp trying copy directory name new directory name, , not copy directory into existing one, if exists.
