Ubuntu File Transfer Progress Bar. Quite often i will transfer large files to ntfs formatted external media wait. To display progress inform of integer percentage instead of visual indication use the n option.
Pv originalfile newfile i often use this to copy a big file over a mounted network filesystem combine with gzip and tar. The general syntax for progress is watch progress q. In recent versions of files aka nautilus separate copymove status window is no longer available.
I hung up again this time after 1126 files and about 768 mb transferred.
The general syntax for progress is watch progress q. Uncheck track file transfers and other jobs ok right click on the task bar task manager settings uncheck show progress and status information in task buttons ok then logout and login. Some options under output modifiers. This prints the percentage completed as an integer figure with each new update on a new line.
