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?
Using csh/tcsh?
You are running into an alias. Simply escape cp or call with full path: \cp -f /bin/cp -f
