While copying files from one location to another, you might get following error
$ sudo cp /home/code/wordpress /var/www/localfintrekking cp: omitting directory '/home/code/wordpress'
Here is output of ls -la command
$ ls -la total 84 drwxrwxr-x 21 USERNAME USERNAME 4096 Apr 20 23:18 . drwxr-xr-x 45 USERNAME USERNAME 4096 May 7 14:12 .. drwxrwxr-x 7 USERNAME USERNAME 4096 May 5 13:52 backup drwxrwxr-x 15 USERNAME USERNAME 4096 Sep 21 2017 bootstrap drwxrwxr-x 3 USERNAME USERNAME 4096 Mar 8 08:31 django drwxrwxr-x 9 USERNAME USERNAME 4096 May 5 22:05 python drwxrwxr-x 4 USERNAME USERNAME 4096 Apr 28 18:57 wordpress
By default, cp copies only the direct files in, and not sub directories in the directory. The message cp: omitting directory ‘directory’ warns you that the mentioned directory is not copied.
You solve this problem you can follow either of following command
sudo cp -r /home/code/wordpress /var/www/localtechtrekkingcom sudo cp -a /home/code/wordpress /var/www/localtechtrekkingcom
Details about these options
-R, -r, --recursive copy directories recursively -a, --archive same as -dR --preserve=all
Important note: Address needs to be route address and not the address from relative folder
