As noted in the link above, cp takes two parameters: &nbsp;cp FROM TO.<br />
<br />
Check out the man page:<br />
<a href="http://linux.die.net/man/1/cp" rel="ugc">http://linux.die.net/man/1/cp</a><br />
<br />
At a minimum you need:<br />
cp /home/oracle/Desktop/backu<wbr />p/* /u01/app/oracle/oradate/or<wbr />cl<br />
<br />
I figure you will also want recursive:<br />
cp -r /home/oracle/Desktop/backu<wbr />p/* /u01/app/oracle/oradate/or<wbr />cl
