As there is no Copy/Paste supported file browser available for Jolla. I need to copy files using terminal.

Is the following command correct: cp * /home/nemo/Downloads/EE /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla
It depends in what folder you are and what privileges you have.

Writing inside /usr/share/... requires being root. You can achieve that using
Code:
devel-su
, but be **very** careful. You should not run commands as root unless you know what you are doing.

Anyways, the command is wrong (it would copy everything from the folder you were currently in) Use this:
Code:
cp -R /home/nemo/Downloads/EE/* /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla/
.
(the -R (recursive) switch allows you to copy not only files, but also folders)
