how copy from NAS to RPI including subdirectories?

[Canedje]

I'm starting from beginning building up my RPI again
On the forehand I backupped all files to my NAS by a mount.
Now I do want to copy all my files back from my NAS to the RPI including subdirectories.
I use:

Code: Select all

sudo cp -r /mnt/NAS/bkupweb/api/*.* /var/www/api

Why are the subdirectories under API not copied to the NAS?

[thagrol]

Probably because their names don't match "*.*"

Try

Code: Select all

sudo cp -r /mnt/NAS/bkupweb/api /var/www/api

instead.

Did you get any error msgs?

no.

I fixed it by copiing every directory by hand (some hours!)
