What is cp: cannot stat error in Unix, I get this error when trying to copy thing from one folder to another
If your source directory is set in quotes, then make sure that the * is outside the quotes, i.e.
cp "source/"* destor
cp "source"/* dest
cannot stat = file/dir does not exist. Check the path first.
And, you say you want to copy /mock but the error message says mock. Show the real code first.
When I test in ubuntu, cp (GNU coreutils) 8.28, I have no problem with copying all files under a dir to another dir, when both paths are correct.
root@DESKTOP-9NHNV2I:~# cp /root/temp/* /rootroot@DESKTOP-9NHNV2I:~# lstemp test.txt test2.txt test3333.txt
cp is used in unix/linux for copy
cp /mock/* ~/projweek this means copy from /mock folder all files to folder projweek that resides in root
This means cp: cannot stat ‘mock/*’: No such file or directory unable to copy all files from mock folder because file or directory not exists on relevant path
