I *THINK* I understand your question, but it's not very clear. Is your pen drive an NTFS file system? If so, you may not have the right things loaded, to allow you to write to an NTFS file system.

Please try to clarify your question, include what version of Linux you're running. Good spelling and grammar wouldn't hurt, either.

Sorry for the spelling mistakes.
Actually I want to copy the files and directory from /var/www/html directory on my pen drive. There is no NTFS on partition as I am running RHEL4 web server on it. My problem is that is allow to copy one directory at a time but not all. Is that clear.

I hope this is not the issue but try:

cp -R /var/www/html <your mounted pen drive>

The -R will copy recursively.

Yawn.
