[CLUE-Tech] The cp command

[Cyberclops]

Live and learn.  I found you have to "cd" to the directory and then
execute the command.

Franly this is in an example were a GUI just blows away an command line.

cy at a24b161n139client142:~ > cp /home/cy/KDesktop/filetest
/homecy/KDektop/filetestnew
cp: cannot create regular file `/homecy/KDektop/filetestnew': No such
file or directory
cy at a24b161n139client142:~ > cd /home/cy/KDesktop
cy at a24b161n139client142:~/KDesktop > copy filetest filetestnew
Error: Try the command: cp -piv filetest filetestnew
cy at a24b161n139client142:~/KDesktop > cp -piv filetest filetestnew
`filetest' -> `filetestnew'
