Help with cp syntax

[Ted Roche]

I'm trying to copy a nested set of directories and files I've uploaded 
to my
home directory to the corresponding folders on the web site:

cp -Rv /home/troche/Present/1999/*.* /var/www/html/Present/1999/ 
--reply=yes

The files in the 1999 folder are copying fine, but the files in
subdirectories of the source 1999 folder, subdirectories that don't 
exist in
the target, are being ignored. Isn't that what the "-R" as in recursive 
is
supposed to do?
