force overwrite the copy command ssh?

Question

I'm looking for something like forcing/bypassing overwrite in ssh on copy command??

For Example : If I have a file test1 in /home and in /root

I want to copy the file from root to overwrite on home directory like if I write

cp test1 /home

cp: overwrite `/home/test1'?

How can we remove this question? How can we force it not to show this overwrite line ... bypass this to yes bydefault I tried -Rf but not working still I'm seeing this....

Anything on this is great help ... I check stack overflow and received this answer but didn't get weather it is working or not

yes | cp -R test1 /home

Is there anything wrong on this??

Thanks & Regards
