💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'sync' instead of 'cp' changes the command behavior.

Omitting 'recursive' copies only one file.

Omitting 'verbose' hides progress details.

The cp command copies files. The recursive option copies all files in folders. The verbose option shows details during the copy.
