Positive. I'm running win95 and used xcopy /s to copy the files to the floppy. I can view the files from dos and windows and the long file names are there. When I put the floppy into my debian system debian only sees the 8.3 filename (example: filena~1.htm). When I cp the files, 'what I see is what I get'. So I took advise and zipped the files with winzip and then downloaded the non-free unzip utility so I can unzip the files to my /var/www/oneclick area. I'm installing the unzip deb now so hopefully that resolves the long filename issue for now. >cp -r copies entire directory trees. It's in the man page. Yes, I read that and tried it as well as -R. Neither coppied all the subdirectories from floppy to the harddrive. The root files copied but not the subdirectories. I'll try again. Syntax I used while in /floppy was 'cp -r *.* /var/www/oneclick' I also tried it with -R Maybe I'm using the wrong syntax here(?) Give a skeptic an inch... and he'll measure it.
