Hi, already-written answers to common questions like this are widely available on the web and can be found by internet search engine such as google or duckduckgo. Do you know how to use those? You first need to think about what search words are likely to be present in the answers you are seeking. For your question above, I tried these search words: linux how copy command file directory and this found dozens of answers. I always search like this first, and it usually finds what I need. Asking the mailing list is great for when I can't find answers using that method, which sometimes happens. Are you subscribed to the mailing list? There have been other replies to your message too, which you will not have received if you are not subscribed. You can read them here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/08/msg00206.html if you click on "next by thread".
