Websites directory structure are as following:

I want command which copy robot.txt and favicon in all websites public_html directory from /root/robots.txt and /root/favicon.ico and if file already available on the destination folder then the command will overwrite file.

@hotzst It's not like that question. This question is about how to loop over different source directories. — Barmar

You can use find too.

find /home -type d -name public_html -exec cp /root/robots.txt /root/favicon.ico {} \;

Just use a simple for loop that processes each directory.

for dest in /home/domain*.com/public_html
do
    cp /root/robots.txt /root/favicon.ico $dest
done
