#!/bin/bash

SRC=/var/log
DEST=/home/aar/log

IFS=$'\n'

for dir in `ls "$SRC/"`
do
if [ -d "$DEST/$dir" ] ; then
for f in `ls "$SRC/$dir"`
do
if [ -f "$DEST/$dir/$f" ] ; then
cat "$SRC/${f}" > "$DEST/${f}"
fi
done

glad your problem is solved. btw i feel stupid after making the script because in general it is just copying all files and folders to a another directory which can be done by 'cp' command simply

what was your exact scenario?
