Is there a command to find whether a file copied to a HDD is a copy pasted file or cut pasted file? an early reply is appreciated.
You wanted an early reply, well, it's nearly 8:30 AM here, is that early enough for you? (It is Saturday after all).
There is no command, or indeed any method whatsoever, which will show, purely by inspection of a file, if it has been copied or moved. (When you write "cut pasted" I think you mean "moved".)
I distinguish between "copied" and "moved" as follows:-
If a file is copied, an second identical version is created somewhere else and the first file remains intact.
If a file is moved, an second identical version is created somewhere else and the first file is destroyed.
nency.jariwala, what difference does the OS make?
