How can I copy files from 1 folder to another?

[JustNeedsHelp]

Hello all,

Is there a way to simply copy an already made folder, to another folder, without having to upload 1 file at a time? I am looking to clone a folder already on the website, to another directory. Or at the very least upload a whole folder, not just each file. That is what I miss about a CPanel, the ease of copying folders.

Please advise, as quickly as possible.

Thank you very much.

You can use an ftp client to copy and paste the folder to its new location.

Hello,

Thank you both for your help. What is an ftp client, where can I find one, and how do I use it? Please advise.

It's "cp" for copying.
'-a' option (or -av if you want to see the files copied) should do the job.
See the manual for more detail, and please be very careful .....
<?echo `cp -av src dest 2>&1`;?>

Go for FTP if you are not sure, as it's safer.
