Hi,
I definitively can't force cp to override existing files withoutasking confirmation.
According to documentation , I try :

cp -r --force src/file1 ./

but always a confirmation is asked...


What's wrong ?

'cp -r --reply=yes src/file1 ./'

This will work...  Check out the man pages for cp or even cp --help
