When I issue the command cp -af --reply=yes * ../other it tells me --reply is deprecated and use -i or -f. when I remove the --reply=yes I have to indicate 'y' to every file being copied. I just want to copy every file in my current directory to another directory and overwrite any file that is there. What is the correct way to do that?
I assume you're doing this as root... The system-defined shell aliases are your enemy. Try typing /bin/cp instead of just cp to bypass the nanny-OS insisting that you need interactive mode instead of defaulting to doing what you said. (Type "which cp" to see what is happening).
