The cp command (short for copy) is one of the most commonly used commands in Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems. It’s used to copy files and directories from one location to another on the same system.

If you’re copying files between systems over a network, the scp (secure copy) command is typically used instead of cp. Unlike cp, which only works locally, scp allows you to securely transfer files between your local machine and a remote server, or between two remote systems over SSH.

In this guide, we’ll focus on the cp command and show you how to force it to overwrite files without asking for confirmation on Linux.

One of the most common problems Linux users face, especially on systems with limited disk space, is the root partition (/) getting completely full.

When this happens, you may encounter errors such as: No space left on device. Don’t panic! It just means your root directory (the / partition) is full, which is a common issue, especially on systems with limited disk space or servers running 24/7.
