    What I understood is that you want to copy all files from a folder which has sub-folders to a destination folder.

    You can use:

    find source_directory -type f -exec cp -t destination_folder "{}" \+

    Or you can just use the copy command as suggested in the comments like:

    cp -p source_directory/* destination_directory
