How to Copy a Nano File in Ubuntu?

You can copy a file created in Nano by using the cp command in your terminal. Here's how:

1. Open your terminal: Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal window in Ubuntu.
2. Navigate to the directory containing your file: Use the cd command to move to the directory where your Nano file is saved. For example, cd Documents.
3. Copy the file: Use the cp command followed by the original filename and the new filename. For example, cp myfile.txt newfile.txt will copy the file named myfile.txt to a new file named newfile.txt in the same directory.

Example:

Let's say you have a file named mynotes.txt in your Documents folder. You want to create a copy of this file named backup_notes.txt.

1. Open the terminal.
2. Type cd Documents and press Enter.
3. Type cp mynotes.txt backup_notes.txt and press Enter.

This will create a copy of mynotes.txt named backup_notes.txt in your Documents folder.

Additional Tips:

• You can copy files to different directories by specifying the full path to the new location. For example, cp mynotes.txt /home/username/Desktop/backup_notes.txt will copy mynotes.txt to the Desktop directory.
• To copy multiple files, use wildcards. For example, cp *.txt backup_folder will copy all files ending with .txt to a directory named backup_folder.
