On my Linux host; this cp command helps copy files and folders both while preserving the timestamp and permissions cp -ax <source file/folder> <destination>
Need similar command for SunOS solaris as the above command fails due to illegal option -- x
$ which cp
/usr/bin/cp $ uname -a
SunOS myhost 5.11 11.41.28.82.3 sun4v sparc sun4v
