Wildcards like the asterisk(*) are not part of the cp command but the bash system so the executable cp will not recognize it, we can perform the same task without using that wildcard as shown in the following example:

QStringList args = QStringList()<<"-r" <<
                                  "/home/praveen/fromTestImage/."<<
                                  "/home/praveen/testImage/";

QProcess::execute("cp", args);

The solution was based on the following response
