How to copy *.jpg to an empty folder

Using 10.6.8

I USB connected my (Moutrie) trail camera to my computer. I have the camera set to record both jpg and avi files. I have 500 files in the folder, 250 are jpg. I want to copy the jpg to where I have a temp folder. Being DOS trained, I don't know what to call things on a Mac, even though I've been using them for 8 years.

In Finder, under "Places" I have of course Desktop and Applications. I also have the directory structure from which I work, called "cglenn." Under this I have a temp folder. The Moutrie is listed in the "Devices" area as moutriecam.

I reading posts in this forum, the closest I came was: cp moutriecam/*.jpg ~cglenn/temp

I tried it without the tilda first. Either way, results say "no such file or directory," so I don't know if the originating or destination folders (or both) are not typed correctly.
