Hi,

I'd like to copy a list of files that are listed in a text file like this

Directory1/FileA.ext
Directory2/FileB.ext

etc.

Any idea how i can automate this?

Hi,

rsync would do this.

Code:
rsync -av --files-from=SOURCEFILE . destinationdir/


That should do the trick :)
Weirdly the source is still needed even though it's ignored when using --files-from 8-}

Doesn't it search for the files relatively to the source? :-/
