Solution 1
What *nix do you have?
Under Linux you use normally:
cp -r <source> <target>
and if you want to copy all the same attributes (aka owner, etc.):
cp -a <source> <target>
Solution 2
cp -r dir1 dir2
-R, -r, --recursive
copy directories recursively

user1058398 over 10 yearsSorry, tell me if I'm wrong but, it will copy all subdirectories recursively ? So it'll copy all the files located in them in my current directory ?
