How can I paste read-me.jpg
file into all sub-directories? Here is a command to create a new file in all subdirectories.
for dir in `find . -type d` ; do echo "mywebsite.com" > $dir/downloadedfrom.txt ; done
But I want to copy jpg
file into all subdirectories instead.
Directory List:
2011 2012 2009 2019 2021 2000/2001/..../2010 ... ...
already tried with this command but no output
for dir in `find . -type d` ; cp read-me.jpg > $dir ; done

Answer
You tried to redirect cp
‘s output into $dir
but instead we should specify the destination $dir/read-me.jpg
as the second argument of cp
for dir in `find . -type d` ; do cp read-me.jpg $dir/read-me.jpg ; done
