Having trouble copying files that are beyond the root level while maintaining folder structure

Question

This code has no troubles copying all files that are in the directory. But, it does not maintain folder structure it only copies the files. Any ideas on what I need to change in order to maintain folder structure?

string server = cbServer.SelectedItem.ToString();
string input = "\\\\" + server + "\\F\\Input";

string folderPath = txtPath.Text;

foreach (var file in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
    File.Copy(file, System.IO.Path.Combine(input, Path.GetFileName(file)), true);

You're not dealing with folders, you just recursively copying files into the target directory.

You can do this, mainly from here really : What is the best way to copy a folder and all subfolders and files using c#

static void Main(string[] args)
{

    string source = @"C:\Users\Yaron.Fainstein\Desktop\z1";

    string target = @"C:\Users\Yaron.Fainstein\Desktop\z1-out";

    CopyFolder(new DirectoryInfo(source), new DirectoryInfo(target));

/*foreach (var file in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(source, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
{

File.Copy(file, System.IO.Path.Combine(target, Path.GetFileName(file)), true);
}*/
} 

public static void CopyFolder(DirectoryInfo source, DirectoryInfo target) {
    foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in source.GetDirectories())
    CopyFolder(dir, target.CreateSubdirectory(dir.Name));
    foreach (FileInfo file in source.GetFiles())
    file.CopyTo(Path.Combine(target.FullName, file.Name));
}
