Hi,
I definitively can't force cp to override existing files without asking
confirmation.
According to documentation , I try :
cp -r --force src/file1 ./
but always a confirmation is asked...
What's wrong ?
cp is probably aliased to 'cp -i'. Try using:
'cp' -rf src/file1 ./
Actually executing:
/cp -r --force src/file1 ./
will remove the alias from the execution. Notice the leading '\'
character.

Or just run /bin/cp -r --force src/file1 . thereby forcing the
use of the executable and not the alias. I don't understand the use of
the / at the front of the command unless cp lives under the / directory.
