## ok above command is trying to copy dir/ to home/sites/www.domain.be/web/ 

think www.domain.be is a symbolic link better to cp or mv to
/home/sites/sitex/  - etc

## ok i dont think mv has a recursive option it will move all dirs and sub dire
files etc.

try copy to start with recursive switch is lowercase r
#3 usage cp -r taerget/directory   /newlocaltion

cp -r /home/sites/sitex   /home/sites/sitexnew
or
cp -r /home/sites/sitex/*   /home/sites/sitexnew/

or using move

mv /targetfilesordirs  /newlocation

hope above makes sense
