You could have just (either as root or with 'sudo' in front): # cp -a /var/tmp/* /home/copyvartmp That would copy all files and folders under /var/tmp. > what's putting them in there? And how can I stop it happening[?] Well, those two questions are related. I don't know how flatpack works - I've never used it, but maybe someone else can help (Ralph?). Generally, /var/tmp is used for ephemeral files. -- Linux Tips: https://www.tiger-computing.co.uk/category/techtips/ -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2021-02-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
