Is there something special with that directory or are you really just asking how to copy directories?
Copy recursively via CLI:
cp -R <sourcedir> <destdir>
If you're only seeing the files under the sourcedir being copied (instead of sourcedir as well), that's happening because you kept the trailing slash for sourcedir:
cp -R <sourcedir>/ <destdir>
The above only copies the files and their directories inside of sourcedir. Typically, you want to include the directory you're copying, so drop the trailing slash:
cp -R <sourcedir> <destdir>
