You can use -v (verbose) as well to see what's going on. It looks like cp -rv dir1 dir2

we can use this commnad to
cp -r dir1 dir2

these dir1 and dir2 are directory name or u can use path here
-r means it is recursively copying. means it will copy the whole content to destination directory and it will ask u want to overwrite the content in the directory u can say no or yes , then it will skip that and will go to next dir copying

when you are copying a directory you have to add -r so it will be like this cp -r /var/www/html/ /var/web/html/
