I have read man cp and cp --help (same thing), but I cannot figure out how
to shorten this:
cp --reply=yes /foo/* .
No -u does not work as expected and nor does -f
Also, is there an equivalent of xcopy and I mean all the features.
For example, in Dos/Win I am used to using, say:
xcopy /s/e/d/y \foo\*.xyz \boo
and sometimes
xcopy /s/e/d/y/l \foo\*.xyz \boo
(the /l gives me a list of files that would be copied without actually
copying them). Basically I would like to copy the entire directory
structure.

P.S. Thanx for any advice
