This may work if there are no "hidden" files in the directory (files whose names begin with a period), and if there are no files with embedded blanks in their names, etc. But as a more general approach, I suggest cp -a /var/www/. /media/lin50 The above handles all of the aforementioned special cases. This copies the entire directory tree below /var/www, including subdirectories, which I assume is the OP's intent. -- .''`.
