Copy and replace file recursively

Question

I try to find a way to copy and replace files recursively.

Example:

Folder /home/test/

1/test.jpg
1/sth_other.png

2/test.jpg
2/sth_other.jpg

3/test.jpg
4/test.jpg

You can see that in folder /home/test I have more and more folders (1,2,3,4) which file name 'test.jpg'.

I have a file /home/test.jpg

Question:

How to replace file 'test.jpg' in 1/2/3/4(folders) with file /home/test.jpg ?

使用find，您可以执行以下操作：

find /where -name test.jpg -type f -exec cp -i /home/test.jpg {} \;
