Copy files

#!/bin/bash

# point to the directory where the config files are stored
CONFIG_DIR="/path/to/your/dir/"

cd $CONFIG_DIR

if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
        DIRECTORY=$(ls -al | awk '{print $1,$9}' | grep -i ^\- | awk '{print $2}');
else
        # alternatively you can pass a file as the first argument with the files separated by a newline
        DIRECTORY="`cat $1`";
fi

# iterate through the files
for f in $DIRECTORY
do
        if [ "$f" == ".htaccess" ]; then
                cp $f ../web/;
                echo "Copying $f to destination.";
        fi
        if [ "$f" == "site.php" ]; then
                cp $f ../web/config/;
                echo "Copying $f to destination.";
        fi
