I want to create a script which will show the amount of data that is been copied from one location to another location. For example: Say I have a file called abc.img which is approximately 4 gb of size therefore every time I copy the file from one location to another I want a progress bar to appear like 50% completed 51% completed and so on.

I'm SSHing to a headless Ubuntu box and sometimes need to upload files from that box via FTP. The built-in FTP client does not show the progress of my upload (or at least I don't know how to view it). I just see this during the operation (which could take up to an hour):150 Opening BINARY mode dataonnection for MyFileAre there any FTP clients which I could use in terminal and would show the progress (some kind of a progress bar or just the percentage)?

I have a Shuttle XPC with 3 drives. /dev/sda is a 320GB SATA drive with a basic installation. Two partitions, a swap and the rest is on /. The other two drives are 1.5TB SATA configured as a software mirror as /dev/md0.
I want to use dd to clone the 320GB boot/OS drive to a 750GB SATA I have at home. Last night I put the 750 in a USB enclosure and at about 6:00 PM fired off: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdd
It's now 7:16 AM and the dd is *STILL* going. Is this unusually long to clone the drive? Is there any way to check the progress or a way to launch dd with a progress indicator?
If I run
cp file1 file2
I'd like to be able to track it's progress. Is there a command I can use for this?
rsync --progress
has this, but is there something generic, usable for "any" command?
Is there any good tool in GNU/Linux that copy files like cp, but also shows progress and limits speed (and changes limit without interruption) like pv?
Prototype: find source_directory | cpio -H newc -o | pv -s `du -bs source_directory/ | awk '{print $1}'` | (cd /destination/directory && cpio -di)
Also rsync -aP source_directory /destionation/directory/, but this shows progress bars individually and can't change rate after started. Or may be I should just write a wrapper for pv/cpio? Done.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and am bothered by the sometimes pretty long update progress. sometimes i wish to abort the update-manager, apt-get or synaptics because i need to go, but i think it might break anything. could you advice me how to do it safely, even if some cleaning up is required afterwards?I was just wondering because certainly there is a way to preserve the pre-update condition, e.g. when installing a new kernel. but my guess is, that the installation is postponed to restart then.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a clever way to monitor the progress (as percentage or hash) of copying a large file (using pv could be an option)?Like monitoring the progress of a copy command such as this:Code:cp linux.iso /tmp/
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to update the percentage progress of my program on the screen. I have a progress bar that I print. I add a * when the progress is more than 10%, but I also want to write the actual percentage correct up to every digit. However, I do not want to write a new number every time, since it will have the following effect:
1
2
3
4
Instead, I would like to just maintain one single figure on the screen that keeps getting updated. How do I do that? (... in Java/C++, but I think it's irrelevant)
I am new both here and in Linux. As the subject says, I would like to learn how to copy a directory (not a file) from terminal with progress bar showing. The copy is local, i.e., not to another computer. My distro is CentOS 5.5. I know that if I do it with nautilus I would see the progress, but I want to learn how to do it from the terminal. I know that PV command can show a progress bar, but from what I saw, it works well for files, but not for directories (recursive).
Is it possible to use PV for directories? If yes, could you please show me the syntax? I also saw that some people mentioned that rsync can also show a progress bar, I tried to do it, but it didn't work out - perhaps I got the syntax wrong. If rsync can really be used to copy directories with progress bar, show me the syntax? Any other ideas on how to do it? I would like ideas that do not involve using any script, i.e., just something that I can do using the regular commands.
Having a bit of a issue with Debian Squeeze and transferring files to the Sony PSP..Hook up PSP to USB port and Debian mounts it..I go to drag a 125 meg mp4 to video folder..Copy windows takes about 10 seconds to transfer it..Exit USB mode and there is no video there. Go back into USB mode and look at video folder on the PSP memory stick and there is no video..It vanished. From another after copy progress closed I right clicked PSP and unmounted it..
It error-ed saying device was busy and could not unmount..Looking at light on PSP i see memory stick is still being written to..i wait for light to stop flashing..About a minute or so..Then am able to unmount it..Go to PSP video and theres the video ready to be watched. Debian isnt accurately showing the copy progress...Its showing complete when it isnt..I have to watch the light on PSP to know when it is truly finished.

To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run

Now, cdda2wav samples the drive output. But the signal is already sampled in the CD. Do you think this is accurate?
I want to copy my /home to a USB thumb drive recursively. I've wrestled with this for a few hours now and continue to spin my wheels.The device is listed in my Disk Utility as /dev/sdc.

I have some directories whose owner is root. When I enter the GUI (KDE) I always do it as normal user john. But then, when I want to copy a file to some of root's dirs, I get an "Access denied" notification. To be sincere, these dirs are in a window$ vfat partition and I can neither change the ownership nor the permissions. So what I do is to switch to a root console and painstakingly type the whole path of both source and destination, with the help, of course, of tab completion. To su to root, copy the file and exit to john would be much more comfortable. But I don't know how to do it. If I do K Menu>Run Command and type 'su root' nothing happens.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI just read the Linux scp command issue question and it reminded me that I regularily forget to specify the colon in the host part of a scp command, and thus copying a file locally instead of copying to a remote host, e.g. I do

But I never use scp to copy a file locally. So I wonder if there is a way to make scp fail if both (the source and destination) arguments refer to local files.
