Here are some tips on how to copy longer file name with white space from thumb drive/usb drive in Linux command line terminal:
We need to add a backslash at the end of every words in the file name. Here is an example on how to copy longer file with white space:
kucing@ubuntu-server:/media/disk$ ls | grep Linux Linux copy command tutorial.txt Linux copy windows file.txt Linux command copy file example01.txt
Type cp and the first word in the file name:
kucing@ubuntu-server:/media/disk$ cp Linux
Pressing the tab key wouldn't help here. What you have to do is to put a backslash after the first word:
kucing@ubuntu-server:/media/disk$ cp Linux\
Press spacebar to put a white space and key in the second word:
kucing@ubuntu-server:/media/disk$ cp Linux\ copy\
Repeat steps above if you have a long file name.
kucing@ubuntu-server:/media/disk$ cp Linux\ copy\ windows\ file.txt /home/tutorials/
That's it. A simple thing but can cause a headache for a Linux beginner.
