Hello list, I was wondering if there is a way to do this. I've got two folders, both called x. each has different files, and at times, the same files. Is there a way to get linux to copy the new files over to the specified folder? It tried, and gave me a bunch of blank folders once, and tried again, and I don't know what the problem is.
