Is there a way to get the 'cp' command to display some kind of status
that the copy is happening. Like hash marks or something...
Its gets frustrating when copying large files from one location to
another and not seeing any progress.
Thanks
Joe

Well, nothing is failing. I just want to know how long I have to wait to
copy a file from one server to another so I can retrieve that file and
work with it. The file is a little over 400 megs and the link is a dsl
link (640 x 256). So I just wish to know a round about time it will
finish. I
Hi Joe,
You can either read what Jeff has written, or you can
just run cp -av instead.

Interesting Fred. On my system that simply reports when the job is
finished. echo back the name of the file being copied from and to.

You want to use rsync with --progress, then. Set up an
rsync server on one side then use:
rsync -avz --progress rsync://server/path/to/file

Sorry, one follow-up to my post. Another advantage to
using rsync is that it will pick up where it left off
if your dial-up gets disconnected.
rsync can also be configured to run over ssh (which is
actually how it's normally configured), but if you
haven't used ssh before then it's a bit

Yeah, I share a FS using samba and mount the connection at work. Then I
set up iptables to only allow the ip/subnet of my work and home to allow
the samba and related ports access so it is secure... This has worked
very well. No need for VPN :-P
Besides, I have a VPN connection and because of

on the other side. To set up the server, simply run
rsync --daemon on the server side.
So would the syntax be as follows:
rsync -avz --progress filename rsync://server/path/to/file/filename
Sorry if I'm asking a brainless question... Never used rsync before :-P
Thanks

You may need to change the rsync invocation.
Yes, you will need to change the rsync invocation. My
apologies. It should be something like:
rsync -avz --progress -- localfile rsync://server/
You can replace localfile with $1 to get the
filename
