Copy file into directories and sub-directories
Hello-
I need to copy a file into multiple directories, and each directory's sub-directories (of which there are 5)
Currently, the parent directory is set up like this:
dir1
sub-dir1
sub-dir2
sub-dir3
sub-dir4
sub-dir5
dir2
sub-dir1
sub-dir2
sub-dir3
sub-dir4
sub-dir5
dir3
sub-dir1
sub-dir2
sub-dir3
sub-dir4
sub-dir5
dir4
sub-dir1
sub-dir2
sub-dir3
sub-dir4
sub-dir5
etc (for 17 directories in all)
file.js
Similar posts seem to involve copying multiple directories and copying a file into several sub directories.
Unfortunately, I can't quite figure out how to get the file to not only cycle through all directories in the parent directory, but also all of the sub-directories within.

OPTIONS
The following options are supported:

files to bring them into agreement. The list format is described in diff(1).
-s Suppresses messages about identical files.
-w n Changes the width of the output line to n characters. The default width is 72.
OPERANDS

dir1 A path name of a directory to be compared.
