cp

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit.

I'm trying to make a scheduled task copy from a directory with thousands of files to a samba share (while skipping duplicates). I mapped my Samba share through the GUI.

The command I tried:

cp /home/security/Brick/* ~/.gvfs/"cam on atm-bak-01.local/Brick" -n

I found this but I don't know how to change the syntax to what I need.

find -maxdepth 1 -name '*.prj' -exec mv -t ../prjshp {} +

Any hints are greatly appreciated.
