To copy a file with the cp command pass the name of the file to be copied and then the destination.
For example, by running the below-mentioned command will copy a file background.jpg to a Pictures/ directory.
cp background.jpeg Pictures/
If you want to copy the file under a different name, you need to specify the desired file name.
cp background.jpeg new-logo.jpeg
To copy multiple files, pass the names of files followed by the destination directory to the cp command.
cp new-logo.jpeg thisfile.txt ~/Documents/
To copy a directory, including all its files and subdirectories, use the -r (recursive) option.
For example, we are copying the directory Documents to Docs_bckp.
cp -r Documents/ Docs_bckp/
