I need to copy data from here
/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4
To
/dir5/dir2/dir3/dir4
I need the path of dir2 on down to remain in tact. But the top folder
is changing.
I basically want to copy dir4 from one filesystem to another and retain
it's path, short the name of the first directory (dir1/dir5). Without
having to manually go in and create dir2 and dir3, which are both empty.
IS there a way to make cp do this? I can't find one, it just errors out
stating that the destination path is invalid. I'm struggling to find a
way to get tar to do this well.
I have about 400 directories like this to copy, so I need to figure out
a command line to script this sucker out.
Thanks,
Travis
