I would like to get everything inside one directory.
How can I copy entire directory (that originally contains files and symlinks) to a new directory that should contains all files but no symlink??
Thank you

Run this command
find (Old dir) -depth -type f -o -type d | cpio -pamVd /New/Directory
it will only copy files and directories, but not symlinks
Example:
find . -depth -type f -o -type d | cpio -pamVd /root/mydir
this will recursively copy all the file/directories from current directory to /root/mydir
Or simply copy everything, then delete the symlinks.
cp -R /path/source /path/dest; find /path/dest -type l -exec rm -f {} \;
