This is a solid solution, but I'm wondering if I should bring my own chair to the exam room. These tests can be a real pain in the butt.

Looks good, but I'm a little worried about the potential for copying sensitive files. Maybe we should add a check to skip any files in /etc or /var.

That's a great idea, let's update the command to exclude /etc and /var.

That's a good idea. We can modify the find command to include a check to skip any files in those directories.

Good point, we definitely don't want to copy sensitive files. We can add a condition to exclude /etc and /var directories.

This is a great solution, but I wonder if there's a way to do it without using the root directory. Maybe we could start the search from /home/harry instead?

I like the use of find and exec to copy the files, but shouldn't we use -type f to only copy regular files?

This looks like the right solution, but I'm not sure about the -rfp flags. Are they necessary?

You can try running the command without the flags and see if it works, but it's recommended to include them for proper file copying.

Yes, the -rfp flags are necessary to preserve the file permissions and copy recursively.

Yes, we need to use 'find' command with '-user harry' option and then 'cp' command to copy the files to /opt/dir.
