To Access CP from the Dashboard

To run CP from the Support Tools Dashboard:

Step 1 In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using section below.

Note: When entering arguments, the CP command is already implied. Do not enter it in the Arguments field.

Step 2 Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.

Step 3 If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run regardless of the level of server activity.

Step 4 Click the Run button.

Using CP - Command Line Options

cp [-ifprv?] file1 file2

cp [-ifprvd?] file1 fileN directory

If the last file is a directory, each file is copied into a file in the destination directory with the same name.

If only two files are specified, file1 is copied to file2.

If more than two files are specified, the last file must be a directory.

The options for CP are:

-i: ask for confirmation before overwriting each destination file.

-f: copy the file, don't ask for confirmation even if it will overwrite a file marked Read-Only.

-p: preserve the source attributes and last modified date and time for the destination file. This is the default. To turn if off use -p-.
