I have mounted an image and have used the find command to show all file types found on the image

~/mounted $ find . -type f -exec file {} \;

I know how to direct the output of the command to a .txt document but I cannot figure out how to copy the files I have found to another directory.

  • What do you mean? All files? Or only those of a given type? If so, which type? Commented Oct 27, 2013 at 14:46

Instead of running the file utility use the same technique with cp

$ find . -type f -exec cp {} /destination/path \;
