> [@Elizabeth\_Prom-Worml](#): > > (please note that there IS a period that must be included at the end of the second line): > cp /faculty/elizabeth/2022/\* . Hi Elizabeth, What does the above quoted sentence mean? Could you give any examples how to write the complete code to copy files prpperly? Thank you very much. ---

Hi @xueyingqin! It means to make sure to copy/paste everything in that line including that period at the end (not to confused with a period to end a sentence). So make sure to copy/paste/use all of this cp /faculty/elizabeth/2022/\* . ---

I followed your instructions. Here is what I type in web ssh: xueyiq64@ip-10-0-201-11:~/day1$ cp /faculty/elizabeth/2022/\* . And then it shows this: xueyiq64@ip-10-0-201-11:~/day1$ I would like to ask where the files are? Sorry that I am totally blank to ssh. ---

hello Elizabeth, I followed your instructions. here is my typing in ssh, leiz63@ip-10-0-201-11:~/day1$ cp/faculty/elizabeth/2022/_. -bash: cp/faculty/elizabeth/2022/_.: No such file or directory leiz63@ip-10-0-201-11:~/day1$ I really don’t know what’s wrong with this situation. @Elizabeth_Prom-Worml ---

Hi @nozomi_lei ! It appears as though you may not have typed the code in just right. Use this cp /faculty/elizabeth/2022/\* . Your code " cp/faculty/elizabeth/2022/ \*. " seems to have no space between cp and the rest of the code (/faculty/elizabeth/2022/ \*. ) Try again and let me know how it goes. ---

Hi @mehinmowo6759 I am unsure of what you have done so far. Can you share a bit more code or explanation? ---
**Author:** ![JML](https://isgw-forum.colorado.edu/letter_avatar_proxy/v4/letter/j/9f8e36/32.png) [@JML](https://isgw-forum.colorado.edu/u/JML)\ **Post date:** [June 6, 2022, 3:00pm UTC](https://isgw-forum.colorado.edu/t/day-1-practical-instructions/233/14 "2022-06-06T15:00:51Z")
> [@mehinmowo6759](#): > > bash: command not found The command line is complaining that it doesn’t find a command corresponding to what you typed. Usually I see that it means people have left out necessary spaces. Spaces are important to separate the _command_ from the _options_ and _arguments_ to the command. So it should look like ```auto cp /faculty/elizabeth/2022/day1/* . ``` With very important spaces after `cp` and after `*` Or it could just be a typo, for example typing `sp` instead of `cp`. ---

Hi, @Elizabeth_Prom-Worml please would it be possible to get the questions for the Day1 practical in pdf/word document? I am having issues with the internet connection, so having an offline version would help. With many thanks, Sinziana ---

Hi @nozomi_lei This file was one that I copied late between sessions A and B, so it is likely that it did not copy when you initially copied files. Try copying this file from my folder now and putting into your folder. Let me know how it goes. ---
