How to copy files only?

To copy only files (excluding directories) in Bash, you can use the cp command with a wildcard. Here's an example:

cp /source_directory/* /destination_directory/

• /source_directory/* matches all files in the source directory.
• /destination_directory/ is where the files will be copied.

If you want to ensure that only files are copied and not any subdirectories, you can use the find command:

find /source_directory -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec cp {} /destination_directory/ \;

• -maxdepth 1 limits the search to the top level of the source directory.
• -type f ensures that only files are selected.

Feel free to ask if you need more details or examples!
