I am simply trying to copy files using cp -r /home/user/source/ /home/user/destination/ but it throws me the cp: cannot stat /source/filename.xxx error for some of the files. When I searched for this error, I found some matching questions such as this,this and this which although have the same error thrown by cp command but the reasons are different. Their solutions do not address my problem.
Upon looking closely, I saw that this error was being thrown only for files whose names contained Asian characters. For example,
cp: cannot stat /source/고정폭.collection
Does anyone have a solution for this? May be the default character encoding for my machine is not reading these file names.
