If you want to append, then 2>>. For example if you did the ls command below of a directory that had files one.txt, two.txt and three.txt: ls one.txt two.ttx three.txt you will get an error for two.ttx. You can redirect that using 2> ls one.txt two.ttx three.txt 2>/dev/null will redirect errors to /dev/null while stdout will still display to the screen. ls one.txt two.ttx three.txt 2>lserrors.txt will redirect errors to the file lserrors.txt while stdout will still display to the screen. ls one.txt two.ttx three.txt >goodfiles.txt 2>lserrors.txt will redirect the errors to lserror.txt and will redirect the successful part of the command to goodfiles.txt therefore you will have no output to stdout.
