Copy everything in a file to another file of different location

say I have file named (filea) in my / directory

my filea contains different types of contents and other folders that also has contents in it example

index.php
try.txt
file(b) <- (there's a.txt b.php inside)
file(c) <- (readme.txt)
design.php

I would like to copy all the contents in filea to /var/www/myserver/htdocs

I tried cp -R filea /var/www/myserver/htdocs but it copies the filea to /var/www/myserver/htdocs which I don't want that.

I just want all the contents inside filea not the filea along with the contents in it.

How can I do it?

Try cp -R filea/ ...
