How to copy in bash the entire directory and files recursively?

Question

I have a script:

find ./SourceFoler/ -maxdepth 4 -exec cp -R '{}' ./DestFolder/ \; 

SourceDir also contains subfolders.

The problem is that in DestFolder not only the entire tree, but also the level above all other levels and files. How to fix? Thank.

Answer 1

 cp -r ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder 

Answer 2

 cp -r ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder 

code for copy with success

 cp -rv ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder 

code to force, if the source contains any readonly file, it will also copy

 cp -rf ./SourceFolder ./DestFolder
