Simple Scripting?

[Harvey]

Hey guys,

I wanted to make a script that I could run to automatically copy stuff over to my iPod.

It wouldn't have to be something that runs in a timely manner with crontab, but just a script I could run from the command line that would move the contents of a specific directory into my iPod in a specific folder.

Does anyone know where I can read to figure out how to hook something like this up?

Thanks

from command line

ditto from/dir to/dir

you can dray folders from the finder to termainal so you don't have to type it in

if that works then it wont be too hard to make a script that does one line

also look into rsync

When writting a script in BASH, what does the first line of the file need to look like?

I just create a text file that says...

!#/bin/bash

ditto directory/files/ destination/files

?

Hrm. rsync looks kinda cool. Maybe overkill though.
