How to create a .sh file that will copy and paste files?
I created a script.sh file with the following code:
#!/bin/sh
tar -pzvxf file1.tar (to unzip)
cp -a /root/Desktop/file1/. /root/Desktop/Destination (copy)
After which I ./script.sh to run it but it wouldn't run.
Any idea why?
linux sh

Do you even know what an executable file is ? -I mean, have you ever tried opening one in your editor ? An executable is a binary file. You can't edit it directly, you have to use another language to create it. C, C++, Python, Java, R, Perl, PHP, Even JavaScript can do this. Please read the help center

Ensure that the script has it's executable bit set.
Try using this in your shell.
chmod +x ./script.sh
This will ensure that the script can be executed by your shell.
