in thread read files one by one in directory and redirct output to a file

cat is the abbreviation for 'concatenate' and will do binary files just fine. cp will complain if it's instructed to copy multiple source files and the target is not a directory. Windows 'copy' is different from both.

    Where -T means: Treat destination as a normal file. I don't work much with Unix nowadays.
