RE: Copy command copies directories I don't want

[Mark]

I guess in this case I would even be fine with explicitly listing each file I 
want :
/etc/ldap.conf
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
<etc>

If I could just get it to copy each file no matter which directory level it's 
on and NOT to copy ANY other folder/file that is not
specified...

Thanks,

MARK
