man cp

Answer for your problem ? You have to give two commandlines
cp source dest1
cp source dest2
cp can do copy from multiple sources, but not to multiple destinations. In this case, it takes the first 2 arguments as sources, and the last done as destination. Since the second argument is a directory, cp needs "-R' option to copy.
