dumb q: how to cp lots of files/firectories without hitting 'y' all the time

Dear all,

I am trying, in SSH, to copy a load od update files over existing files/directories.

I am using the command 'cp * /destination -R'

but dont know how to turn off the overwrite check. I am sure I've used a much better way in the past but I cant remember it.

Can someone help my stupidity please?

Thanks.
