    without looking it up:

    chown -R

    cp -r

    ls -r

    rsync. (idk, i always google this one)

    scp -r

    zip -r

    but why not look it up? you either use a tool and arguments often enough to memorize it, or you don’t.

      It’s not about looking it up or not, it’s a challenge to the boasting of the commenter above me in the context of the OP’s post.

        ah yeah that’s fair. but also i kinda agree with that person’s response. getting frustrated with linux doesnt mean linux sucks, it means you are learning. ive been using linux for over 20 years, and i still find plenty of things that take me out of my element. and that’s a good thing.
