How can you recursively copy all of the *.foo files in src to target using cp and/or find?
Question
cp -v -ur path/to/jsps/ /dest/path/
The above command copies all of the files that have been updated from the source directory to the destination, preserving the directory structure.
What I can't figure out is how to copy only *.someExtention files. I know that you can use something like:
find -f -name *.jsp -exec some awesome commands {}
But I don't know how to do it (and I don't have time to read the info pages in detail).
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, LES
Solution
If you want to use find / cp then the following should do the trick:
find -f -name *.jsp -exec cp --parents {} /dest/path \;
but rsync is probably the better tool.
