Linux: copy folder from one user to another

[huntflex]

Hello,

I'm having trouble copying some folders from one user to another. I've attempted something like this:

cp -r /olduser/folder ./newuser/folder

it just tells me no such file or directory
Can anybody please help ?

Thank you

Don't you mean /newuser/folder?
Or ~newuser/folder, if you want to put it in their homedir?
Or ~newuser, if you don't want it in ~newuser/folder/folder?
