I would like to copy a file from one location to another. When I use the
cp
command in a terminal it works well, for example I use the following command:
cp -r projects/Test/ projects/Personal/
This leads to a creation of the folder Test
in the folder Personal
containing all contents of Test
in the folder projects
. However when I execute the same line in a bash file, instead of having a folder named Test
in Personal
I have a folder named ~
. The contents of the file are correct.
Would you know how I could have the folder named Test
instead of ~
? This is the code of my bash file:
#!/bin/sh
cp -r projects/Test/ projects/Personal/
