The command you provided seems to reference a process that would resemble a file copying operation, likely using `cp` or a similar utility. However, "mega-cp" specifically refers to a command from the MEGA.nz cloud storage service, which provides tools for file management.
To use `mega-cp` to copy files from a source folder to a destination, you typically need to install the MEGA command-line interface (CLI) first. Here’s a general outline for how to do this:
### 1. Install MEGA CLI
Before you can use `mega-cp`, ensure you have the MEGA CLI installed. You can usually download it from the [MEGA.nz website](https://mega.nz/).
### 2. Authenticate with MEGA
Before using the commands, you need to log in:
```bash
mega-login This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
```
Enter your password when prompted.
### 3. Use mega-cp to Copy Files
Once authenticated, you can execute the `mega-cp` command to copy files or directories.
The general syntax is:
```bash
mega-cp /path/to/source/folder /path/to/destination
```
### Example Command
Here's an example of how you would copy a folder named "my_folder" from your local directory to your MEGA cloud storage:
```bash
mega-cp /path/to/local/my_folder /path/to/remote/destination/
```
### Notes:
- Ensure the paths are correct; `/path/to/source/folder` should be the path to your local directory and `/path/to/destination` should be the target path in your MEGA account (like `/my_folder`).
- You can use the `--recursive` option if you are copying a directory to ensure all contents within it are also copied.
### Additional Help
For more options and detailed usage, you can refer to the help command:
```bash
mega-cp --help
```
This will give you additional options for managing your file transfers with the MEGA CLI.
Update (2025-07-21):
It looks like you're referencing a command that resembles a file transfer or synchronization operation, possibly related to a tool or script named `mega-cp`. This suggests you might be working with the MEGA cloud storage service, which provides a command-line interface for file operations.
If you're looking for a general explanation or usage of a command like `mega-cp`, here’s how it typically works:
### Syntax
```
mega-cp [options]
```
### Parameters
- ``: The path to the source folder or file you want to copy.
- ``: The path to the destination where you want the source to be copied, which could be a local path or a remote path on MEGA.
### Example Usage
For example, if you want to copy a folder from your local filesystem to your MEGA cloud account, the command might look something like:
```bash
mega-cp /home/user/myfolder mega:/MyMegaFolder
```
### Notes
- Ensure you have the MEGA command-line tool installed and configured (you may need to sign in).
- The paths must be correct, so double-check them before executing the command.
- You might want to use options like `--verbose` (if available) to see detailed output of the operation.
### Common Options
- `--recursive`: Copies directories recursively.
- `--verbose`: Provides more detailed output during the copy process.
- `--overwrite`: Overwrites files at the destination if they exist.
For the exact usage and options, it's always a good idea to refer to the official MEGA documentation or use the help command:
```bash
mega-cp --help
```
This should give you a comprehensive guide on how to use the `mega-cp` command effectively.
Update (2025-09-10):
It looks like you're trying to use a command that resembles the syntax for copying files or directories. However, "mega-cp" isn't a standard command in typical Unix/Linux command line environments. Instead, it might refer to a command from a specific tool related to MEGA.nz, a cloud storage service.
If you're working with MEGA's command-line tools, you might use `mega-cp` to copy files between your local storage and your MEGA cloud storage. Here’s the general format of the command:
```bash
mega-cp /path/to/source/folder /path/to/destination
```
### Explanation:
- **`/path/to/source/folder`**: This is the path to the source folder or file you want to copy.
- **`/path/to/destination`**: This is the path where you want the source to be copied, which could be a local path or a path in your MEGA cloud storage.
### Example:
To copy a folder named "my_files" from your local directory to your MEGA cloud folder "MyCloudFolder", you might use:
```bash
mega-cp ~/my_files /MEGA/MyCloudFolder
```
### Requirements:
1. **MEGA Command-Line Tools**: Ensure you have the MEGA command-line interface (CLI) installed and configured on your system.
2. **Authentication**: You may need to log in to your MEGA account using the `mega-login` command before performing file operations.
### Additional Help:
For more detailed usage, you can typically run:
```bash
mega-cp --help
```
This should provide you with additional options and usage details specific to the version of the MEGA command-line tool you are using. If you need assistance with something specific, feel free to provide more context!
