I've been told that the "cp" command is what I want, but a review of the man file does not indicate anything similar to the /d parameter. This would copy all of the files in dir1 to dir2, including all subdirectories (/s) including all hidden files (/h) including all read-only files (/r) continuing on, rather than erroring out, if a glitch develops (/c) and copying only files that are newer than those already in the target directory where the same file exists in both directories (/d) On the PC I would simply fire up a command prompt and use the following xcopy command: There are a lot of files, but only a few change each day, and I have to make sure that an older file never overwrites a newer file with the same name. I am attempting to find a painless way to update a flash drive with some data that has to move between my office and home machines. I am a long time PC user making a valiant effort to move to MAC. I posted this in the Leopard forum, but it appears that I was incorrect in doing that, so.
