Replace the File.Copy line by

File.Copy(fi.FullName, Path.Combine(destinationFolder, fi.Name), true);

You need to do a recursive search.

very rough example: 

    private void copyFiles(string filePath)
    {
        DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(filePath);
        FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles();

        foreach (FileInfo fi in files)
        {
            // test if fi is a directory
            // if so call copyFiles(fi.FullName) again
            // else execute the following
            if (fi.Name != downloadFile) File.Copy(filePath+ fi.Name, destinationFolder + fi.Name, true);
        }

    }

If you want files of all subdirectories use the SearchOption parameter:

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(tempDownloadFolder);
di.GetFiles("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles();

foreach (FileInfo fi in files)
{
   if (fi.Name != downloadFile)
   File.Copy(tempDownloadFolder + fi.Name, destinationFolder + fi.Name, true);
}
