2) Create the clone directories, and copy all files from the source directories to the target directories.

mkdir /example/htdocs/ubbt/foo2_dir
mkdir /example/ubbt/foo2_dir

cp -a /example/htdocs/ubbt/foo_dir/* /example/htdocs/ubbt/foo2_dir
cp -a /example/ubbt/foo_dir/* /example/ubbt/foo2_dir

(Ensure that hidden files such as .htaccess were copied.)

<pre>
cp: illegal option -- a
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i] [-pv] src target
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i] [-pv] src1 ... srcN directory</pre>
