Did you try with "man cp" ?

 

cd /opt/DevOps/profile/instances && cp --parents web{A,B,C}/services.xml /tmp/.

Maybe this?

First, make directories (if it they don't already exist)

mkdir -pv /tmp/Web{A,B,C}

copy file into all directories

for i in A B C; do cp -v services.xml /tmp/Web${i}; done
