copy only the inside of any directory to another directory

Post by JonLo »

Hi, I'm trying to make a backup of what's inside any directory, but I can't. The directories do not have a specific name. Does anyone know if it can be done?

Thank you so much.

For example. I have a directory with several subdirectories and inside them jpg files.
Photos/January/1.jpg...
Photos/February/1.jpg...
But tomorrow I can have
Photos/Scotland/1.jpg..
/Photos/Spain/1.jpg...
I want to make a backup of *.jpg to the Photos folder. Photos/1.jpg....

Thank you and forgive my Google Translate English.

Add the directory to the source and then just add a mask *.jpg into your task's filters. All other files that are not *.jpg will be ignored.

Sorry, I didn't express myself well.

Can I copy for example photo/*/*.jpg to photo/*.jpg?

The program will keep the directory structure so I don't see any easy solution to this problem.
