When I issue the command cp -af --reply=yes * ../other

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).
