Re: Is it possible to copy a file from anywhere to My Documents with bash cp?


Dear Mr. / Ms. / Miss Zombie,

Not everyone's Windows system is installed on their C drive and the "multi-user" versions of the Windows OS such as NT, 2K and XP don't follow the directory structuring convention implicit in your answer.

Thus, your instructions will fail on many users' systems.

Assuming you haven't changed the standard mount points:
