Ive learned how to replace a line using bash script but I am wanting to learn how to replace a whole file with another file in a different folder with the same name. Is this possible??

Right-click the document file the content of which you want to replace. Press the Alt key and select Operations > Replace with File... from the menu bar. Locate and select the file that you want to use for replacing the original file content. Click OK.
To replace content in a file, you must search for the particular file string. The 'sed' command is used to replace any string in a file using a bash script. This command can be used in various ways to replace the content of a file in bash. The 'awk' command can also be used to replace the string in a file.
cp -f [original file] [new file]
Copies the original file and overwrites the target file (hence -f which stands for "force").

In case you are attempting to copy just the content of the file try
cat /first/file/same_name > /second/file/same_name
This will overwrite all the content of the second file with the content from the first. However, your owner, group, and permissions of the second file will be unchanged.
