Copy all files from one folder to another

Try using a wildcard to grab everything in the folder.

!cp -r /content/COVID-19\ Radiography\ Database/COVID-19/* /data

The original command is interpreted as copy this folder (COVID-19) to folder /data. The wildcard will say to take all of the files in that folder and copy them to /data.


cp -a /source/. /dest/

-a is for recursive copy and . at the end is for copying the hidden files too.
