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?
As others have mentioned, I usually just do 'unalias cp' first. But you can also do yes | cp (cp options) which will say y to every prompt cp spits out.
