[linux] CentOS: Copy directory to another directory

I'm working with a CentOS server. I have a folder named test located in /home/server/folder/test. I need to copy the directory test to /home/server/. How can I do it?

This works for me.

cp -r /home/server/folder/test/. /home/server

To copy all files, including hidden files use:

cp -r /home/server/folder/test/. /home/server/

For copy directory use following command

cp -r source    Destination

For example

cp -r  /home/hasan   /opt 

For copy file use command without -r

cp   /home/file    /home/hasan/

As I understand, you want to recursively copy test directory into /home/server/ path...

This can be done as:

-cp -rf /home/server/folder/test/* /home/server/

Hope this helps
