Does anyone know of a windows commmand-line ( available on XP Pro or later by default ) that could copy a file while showing progress. I do not care if the progress indicator is in a terminal or a GUI window.
This is intended to be used during batch file scripting
You could easily write a program to do that, I've got several that I've written, that display bytes copied as the file is being copied. If you're interested, comment and I'll post a link to one.
This technet link has some good info for copying large files. I used an exchange server utility mentioned in the article which shows progress and uses non buffered copy functions internally for faster transfer.
In another scenario, I used robocopy. Robocopy GUI makes it easier to get your command line options right.
Does not the xcopy command show progress? I don't have a Windows machine available to test, but I recall it being more verbose than the regular copy command.
