CP command doesn't work properly?

Hi... Maybe instead of typing the problem I Will ask what's the right command and then I will see what I've done wrong.

I'd like to copy from '/mnt/windows/.../../../x/y/' directory, the files only, in the directory y.
to
'.mozilla/.../.../.../.../z/'
to the z folder, without having a folder inside named y :S

also, I'd like the files to overwrite the old files, and Force them to move (A.K.A without asking me Y/N Questions )

Thanks in advance

You should use the 'mv' command: mv /mnt/windows/.../.../.../y ~/.mozilla/.../.../.../z. ~ is shorthand for your home directory - you can replace it with /home/username/ if you wish.

Also do man mv to see other options to use with mv.
