Ubutun: Copy files from a shared folder try using the CP command instead of CTRL+C/V

For convenience, VBox installs Ubuntu and creates a shared folder with Windows on the hard disk Sharefolder facilitates file transfer between two systems

But often the problem is that copying files from Sharefolder to Ubuntu will have a lot of problems, such as often press CTRL + C after not copying the latest files (because you have to press F5 in Ubuntu to refresh a bit sharefolder and its subfolders to update everything inside, thus avoiding copying to outdated files . This is a very troublesome and error-prone problem! Imagine when the contents of a folder are complicated!

Workaround, using the CP command, enter the CP--help to view help information

The general use method is as follows:

Cp-f-R <src> <dest>

/*

-F means mandatory coverage, you know

-R means recursive, you know, do not know to go to the CP--help Search Help Document!

SRC and dest do not explain, is two path name, you can use relative path (such as direct write folder name), can also use absolute path (such as/home/documents/something)
