Linux Solutions

Solution 1 - Linux

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

Solution 2 - Linux

To copy all files, including hidden files use:

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

Solution 3 - Linux

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

Solution 4 - Linux

This works for me.

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

Solution 5 - Linux

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/
