To show all files for a directory at the commandline, use "ls -l", to show all files for a directory and below, use "ls -laR". I hope this helps. The man pages for the system are usually installed, so simply doing "man ls" should show you that. Ditto for cp. Also, for a blow-by-blow description, running "info cp" may also help (hit the q key to exit info).
