cp[1] command is used for copying files and directories. It lacks progress bar indicator[2], but you can use progress -w command to display the percentage of copied data or use rsync[3] command.

Ansible also includes a cp module with limited scalability (>hundreds of files) [4]

Options

-a, --archive
-l, --link hard link files instead of copying

Activities

  1. Understand the differences between cp, scp and rsync: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20244585/how-does-scp-differ-from-rsync
  2. Understand --sparse option and usage cases
  3. Learn how to not overwrite a file with -n, --no-clobber option[5] or using rsync -a -v --ignore-existing src dst
