Is there a way to show progress when copying/moving files using the command line?

Question

sometimes with large files it takes a while and some sort of progress bar to know that its still working would be nice.

rsync --progress $SRC $DEST can show you the percentage of what has been copied so far.

Try -v after the command to do your command in verbose mode.
