如何查找然后复制找到的文件，Linux

Question

I'm trying to search a directory for all of its wsdl files and then copy them to another location. Right now I'm using xargs since, if I understand correctly, it takes the output of one command and uses it as the arguments of the piped command. However, I keep getting prompted that a file is not a directory and thus the command fails. I'm fairly new to linux so maybe someone can tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

Here's my command:

find VMware-vSphere-SDK-5.5.0-1284541/ -iname "*.wsdl" | xargs cp -i '{}' /home/jaayers

Keeps throwing this:

cp: target 'VMware-vSphere-SDK-5.5.0-1284541/SDK/eam/wsdl/eam.wsdl' is not a directory

EDIT:

So changing the command to

find VMware-vSphere-SDK-5.5.0-1284541/ -iname "*.wsdl" | xargs cp -i {} -t /home/jaayers

will copy the files but still prints this message

cp: cannot stat '{}': No such file or directory

so even though it's doing what I want it to do I assume it's not the proper way to achieve the desired function, perhaps someone can suggest a better way to accomplish this?

您必须位于该文件夹中，或者给出我认为的绝对路径，例如“ /home/user/VMware-vSphere-SDK-5.5.0-1284541/”。
