What is the difference between coping and moving a text?
Answers
Answer:
Copying means creating copy of data at another location and it remains intact at its previous location, while moving data means copying same data into another location and removing from original location.
Answer:-
The main difference between copying and moving is that the copying makes a duplicate of a file or directory in another location without affecting the original content while moving transfers the original file or directory to another location.
While working with computers, sometimes it is necessary to make duplicates of the same file or directories. Copying is a solution to this. It does not affect the original content. Instead, it makes a similar copy of the original to the new location. Moving, on the other hand, follows a different process. It transfers a file or a directory to another location. The original content is deleted, and a new one is available in the new location. This articles specifically discusses copying and moving in Linux.
