http://unix.stackexchange.com – When i copy files to the Android phone, they are copied to some cache, but they aren't written. I don't like it, because i don't know what is done. I've tried these methods: copying via thunar file manager using cp src dst command using rsync -aP src dst I have to use sync to write data. I don't like it, because i can't see progress when copying large amount of data (using thunar, rsync). (HowTos)

Stories similar to Real copy to Android device

Hey Guys,I have posted this under 'Newbie Corner' because I'm really not sure where this should go. I am using Gnome 3.6 with GNOME Shell. When I copy a large file from one device to another (say, my SSD to a USB flash drive) I get the copy dialog box with the progress bar. This progress bar jumps to about 98%-99% and stays until the file is finished writing to the disk.

I'm using

rsync --delete -Rav remote:/path/to/maildir/cur /backup/

but I'm finding lots of files on remote that are not getting copied by rsync, while others are copied. Rsync does not throw any errors, it's like it just doesn't see some files.

We had a similar requirement when copying large amounts of data from USB drives to our servers (not MP3 players). With the file copy not happening in alphabetical order we found it difficult to tell how far the copying process had progressed.

I used rsync to copy a large number of files, but my OS (Ubuntu) restarted unexpectedly.

After reboot, I ran rsync again, but from the output on the terminal, I found that rsync still copied those already copied before. But I heard that rsync is able to find differences between source and destination, and therefore to just copy the differences.

I'm using rsync to copy some source code. The copied code must not be modified at the destination place, so I set --chmod=u-w flag to make it read-only after copying.

rsync --delete -a --chmod=u-w

First is working well.

I have an rsync command for copying my files from dev to production. I don't want to copy the .htaccess file that's in the root of the HTML directory but, I do want to copy the few .htaccess files that are in its sub directories.

I'm using the argument --exclude .htaccess which is stopping all of the files from getting copied.

[Q] sftp copying problems 12 weeks 1 hour ago

Hi guys.

I am trying to copy files from my computer's sftp, over wifi. And I am not able to transfer more than about 200 MB, since at some point all the programs I tried fail.

Just asking out of curiosity...

Sometimes I need to copy a huge directory to another directory (local filesystem), and usually I will use the "cp" or "rsync" commands. These commands are good, but depending on the size of the data being copied, the copy is painfully slow.
