Hi..
I want copy olddrive files to new hard disk. But I dont succeed.
I entered
cp -a /olddrive/home/gizli/public_html/secret/* /home/gizli/public_html/secret/

But SSH said /bin/cp: Argument list too long

What I do? is how copy Files new directory?

I suppose you should try

cp -af /olddrive/home/gizli/public_html/secret /home/gizli/public_html/

instead.
