Lets look at some of the other functions you can execute via SSH. If you want, for example, to move andcopy a fileto a different folder you need to type the following:
mvindex.html /path/to/directory/index.html ( this command will move it)
cpindex.html /path/to/directory/index.html (this command will copy it)
Copying a whole folder is done using the -r option of the cp command. This will copy the whole folder recursively for example:
cp -r /path/to/folder /destination/path
The mvcommand can also be used to rename a file. For example:
mvindex.html newindex.html
Note that unlike windows, Linux files are key sensitive, so if you are going to move or edit a file you must type the exact name.
