Hi,

I mean to copy everything, all directories and files including all 
sub-directories (which are 40 directories and 40 files) on the external 
harddrive /SD-Card to an other external hard drive

I don’t want to write every of the 40 directories and of the 40 files by 
hand but think
there is a command to copy all at once.

I was looking on the internet for this,
but didn’t find any command.

I have a book about Terminal commands,
but there I couldn’t find what I need.


Kind regards

Gottfried
