I would like to be able to use mcopy to copy some files and subdirectories off of a floppy. For instance, I have file1.txt, file2.txt, subdirectories Sub1, Sub2, Sub3, Sub4 on a floppy, with each subdirectory containing some files. How can I utilize mcopy to copy over what is on the floppy to my hard drive? I am running RedHat 6.2, and mcopy only has these options: -tnmvV, and there is no further description as to what these mean when I type mcopy and return. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

If you want to copy files and subdirectories to your harddrive, then use the -R with your cp... cp -R /mnt/floppy/* ~/temp taurus

If you are using cp to copy DOS text files, you can still easily convert them to unix format and back again with: ##DOS -> UNIX $ sed -e 's/.$//' dos.txt > unix.txt ##UNIX -> DOS $ sed -e 's/$/\r/' unix.txt > dos.txt
