I think you need to add -r for recursive. Hope that helps. |

I dont think you can exclude a sub folder either.
cp -rf folder would force to copy the folder recursive |

I know you can tar the directories and by use of a text file with the folders you don't want listed in there, the tar will exclude anything you don't want. Then just move the tarball to where you want and untar.
I don't remember how exactly to do it, but I've used it on copying huge photoset directories with tons of folders and files I didn't want and tons that I did.

cp -rp
- the p will preserve the file attributes
