I want to copy all files (included sub-folders) from $HOME
directory to Desktop
in bash. And as you know the Desktop
is in $HOME
. So, when I copy all files I get the message like this:
cannot copy a directory, '/home/adminuser/Desktop', into itself, '/home/adminuser/Desktop/'
.
And I don't know the suitable code to exclude the folder Desktop
.
I use this: cp -r $HOME/* ~/Desktop/
Does anybody know a code for it or can anybody help me?
