I have the following structure on my server:

/www/html/www->content

I want to copy the content (all files) from the last www to html and delete the second www after that. How do I have to do that?

I recommend rsync:

sudo rsync -avz /www/html/www/ /www/html/

It's what I use to create backups. It syncs files on copy when copying across different hard drives, -a takes care about file access rights and ownership. When copying across servers, -z uses compression.

After that, delete the dir:

sudo rm -f /www/html/www
