By default, when cp overwrites, no matter what parameters -f or the like are added, it will still prompt whether to overwrite.
The reason is: the server will add aliases by default alias cp=’cp -i’
. When you execute cp, cp –i is actually executed.
[root@ltt01 ~]# alias alias cp='cp -i' alias egrep='egrep --color=auto' alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto' alias grep='grep --color=auto' alias l.='ls -d .* --color=auto' alias ll='ls -l --color=auto' alias ls='ls --color=auto' alias mv='mv -i' alias rm='rm -i' alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde'
cp cancels the prompt information and directly overwrites it. The user does not need to hit y to interact, which is very important when the script is executed.

The following are two ways to solve this problem.
Method 1: Disable aliases
[root@ltt01 ~]# vi ~/.bashrc
Add "#" before alias cp='cp -i'
to comment out this OK, :wq! Save and exit, then log in again.
Method 2: Add \ before cp
[root@ltt01 ~]# \cp 1.txt /back/1.txt [root@ltt01 ~]#
