Secretly copy files from mac to USB drive?

Question

Ok so my best friend of 7 years has this folder on his computer called embarrassing pictures that he wont show anyone, and I really want to see it. with PC's, its easy because I just need to make one script and that script automatically copies files to usb, the only issue is that he has a mac and I don't know how to script for mac, so if anyone could help me out on this that would be great thanks

Answer 1

Macs are just Unix under the hood, so they use Unix commands. There's a great deal of material online for Unix. The default shell program is "bash". The Mac equivalent of the CMD program is called Terminal (it's in the folder Applications/Utilities).



However, you don't need a script, you can just drag and drop files as you do in Windows.

Answer 2

what would be cool is if you respected your friends privacy



you may find it helpful to consider how you would expect others to deal with your private files



got the answer in your head? .. well, do that

Answer 3

The script is:

darwin ~$ rm best_friend "idiot"
