o "cp -R src_dirname/* dest_dirname/" won't copy "." files. o "cp -R src_dirname/.* dest_dirname/" also copies ".." and "." (Right?) o "cp src_dirname dest_dirname/ will copy the src_dirname directory and its contents to dest_dirname/ which is not the desired result.
The Subject says "without recursion", does that mean you want all the files to be dumped into a single directory ? If so, how do you want to handle filename collisions ?
