I needed to copy a bunch of JPGs from one folder structure to a mirror structure, but didn’t want to copy all the RAW files. Came across two examples. I tried the second (mainly because I understand it), and it worked nicely.
Example 1
Code:
#!/bin/bash cd /home/images find . -depth -type f -name '*.jpg' | cpio --pass-through \ --preserve-modification-time \ --make-directories --verbose /home/new_dir
Example 2
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/images
find . -type d -name '*' -exec mkdir -p /home/new_dir/{} \;
find . -type f -name '*.jpg' -exec cp {} /home/new_dir/{} \;
