Hi @Shyamala  

1.Create one file and add below line of code in that file

sourceFile="give/here/sourceFile path"
targetFolder="give/here/targetFolder pathe"

cp -r $sourceFile/* $targetFolder/

2.Make that file executable

chmod +x fileName.sh

3.Use crontab to schedule the job

crontab -e

Write the below line in cron job

*/5 * * * * /Path/of/fileName.sh
