depending on where your My Documents is (for this example I'll use C:\Documents and Settings\Frank Lane\My Documents\)
cp <filename> /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/Frank\ Lane/My\ Documents/ or cp <filename> "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Frank Lane/My Documents/"] you can use the util cygpath to find out the cygwin syntax of a windows path althopugh spaces still need to be escaped (put a \ before them) or else enclose the whole path in inverted commas. Bash's tab autocomplete will escape spaces for you which is nice. > -----Original Message----- > From: Lane, Frank L [mailto:frank.l.lane@;boeing.com] > Sent: 23 October 2002 17:51 > To: cygwin > Subject: Is it possible to copy a file from anywhere to My Documents > with bash cp? > > > How can I copy a file from a directory to My Documents on a > bash command > line?
