Hi! I used this command for finding and copying files:

find /var/www/html/official -name ‘*.js’ -exec cp --parents {} /official ;

My task was failed, and when I was going to research problem and show it to you, I got error, you can see it on the screen

This is where the issue is, you copied whole stuff directly after running fine command:

I can explain it. I didn’t get the task clearly - how to prevent parent dirs? From absolute path (/var/www/…) or relative path? So I saved it in two ways. If it possible, can you reassign task for me?

Yeah, there is a question, relative parent structure or absolute ?

In my case there is an error with connectivity still

I made this task maybe a four times and still got error

@raiveton

Failed/expired tasks will be reassigned to you sometime in near future so you can give it an another try.

You copy and keep the parent structure by adding backslash
-exec cp --parents \ { \ }
