Hi Paul,

I've limited experience of programming, albeit none of scripting in this
manner for Linux.  I would guess that the script is interpreting *.* as
a folder name for some reason and not the wildcard expression for "all
files".  Could you remove the *.* and see if it then copies the entire
folder?

Kind regards,

Julian
