====== Copier un répertoire entier récursivement ======

You can copy the content of a folder /source to another existing folder /dest with the command

    cp -a /source/. /dest/

The ''-a'' option is an improved recursive option, that preserve all file attributes, and also preserve symlinks.

The ''.'' at end of the source path is a specific cp syntax that allow to copy all files and folders, included hidden ones.
