Your file names appear to have leading dots, and that's atypical: on Unix-based platforms, files with leading dots are considered "hidden" in that some commands, such as ls(1), will not show them without the addition of the -a option. Perhaps, then, you have successfully copied files but do not see them with ls(1) because you are not using -a.
If using $ ls -a is not the solution, then more information will be needed. The use of script(1) to record a console session might shed more light on what is going on.
