$ man cp
-a, --archive
same as -dpR

-d same as --no-dereference --preserve=link

-p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
--preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,owner-
ship,timestamps), if possible additional attributes: links, all

-R, -r, --recursive
copy directories recursively
...

So, it looks like you probably want

$ cp -a source target

-- Rex
