Directory Copy Script

This script copies files and directories from a source directory to a destination directory while maintaining the original directory structure. It recursively traverses through subdirectories and copies both files and folders to the target location.

Features

• Maintains the structure of directories during the copy process.
• Handles both files and directories recursively.
• Prompts the user to input the source and destination directories.
• Automatically creates directories if they don't exist.

Usage

1. Make the script executable:

   Before running the script, make sure it has executable permissions:

   chmod +x copy_directory.sh

2. Run the script:

   You can run the script with the following command:

   ./copy_directory.sh

3. Provide input:

   The script will prompt you for the source and destination directories:

   Enter the source directory: /path/to/source
   Enter the destination directory: /path/to/destination
   

4. Copy process:

   • The script will copy all files and folders from the source directory to the destination directory, preserving the original folder structure.

Example

./copy_directory.sh
Enter the source directory: /home/user/source_folder
Enter the destination directory: /home/user/destination_folder
Copy completed from '/home/user/source_folder' to '/home/user/destination_folder'.

Error Handling

• If either the source or destination directory is not provided, the script will display an error and exit.

Requirements

• Bash (Linux/Mac)
