Ok, the first one cannot be done. You have to have the destination directory in place before cp can copy files to that directory.
The second thing is that cp is asking for confirmation for each file. This is not default behaviour. Check if cp is aliased to 'cp -i'. If it is, unalias it and rerun the command.
