I'm spending some time today trying to teach myself some more Linux/Maemo commands/system applications and right now I'm trying to figure out a solution to a 'real life' issue: copying files.

I find the directory that holds the files I want to copy.
I issue emelfm2 in a rootshell and I'm able to select the files and the 'copy' command.
But when I browse to the directory where I want to copy them to I don't find a 'paste' command.

File Manager only seems to show certain folders (sort of dumbed-down) whilst Emelfm2 shows the lot.

The original files are located in the flash memory and the destination folder is on the internal mem card.

Any suggestions for how to copy ONE and MULTIPLE (non-sequential) files between directories? Any good file-copy-paste tool and/or command-line commands?

(Don't worry, I'm just copying an image file to play with :-)).
