Copy files from one directory to another

Hi

when copy the files from one directory to another as like below,it is tried to copy *.[Cc][Ss][Vv] as a file.
cp /home/rha/*.[Dd][Aa][Tt]

My objective is to copy all the files (don't care about case sensitive),
Thanks in advance for your valuable reply.
