Copying Files

You can copy files using the cp command. This command can either duplicate the file in the same directory or copy the file to another directory. First how to duplicate a file in the same directory:

bash$ cp newfile5.txt newfile6.txt

You can now create a directory and copy the file into it:

bash$ mkdir temp2
bash$ cp newfile5.txt temp2
