What do you use for your large file copies?
What do you use for your large file copies (disk to disk)?
Finder?
rsync (CLI)?
arRsync (GUI front end for rsync)?
Something else?I’ve been looking for something good and really haven’t found it…
features I’d like:
resumable copies
speed / estimated duration
queueingI mean shoot, it makes me want to set up an FTP server just for the features! Would that be worth the hassle?

dd if=/Directory/sourcefile of=/NewDirectory/Destfile bs=4m
Not much will beat this. (unless one side or the other, or the network) can’t go very fast. Then you may want to compress or do other things)

StorageDNA.
Delta sync, filesum checks, WAN and LAN acceleration (no matter what the transport mechanism) & web page administration.

[Steve Modica] “dd if=/Directory/sourcefile of=/NewDirectory/Destfile bs=4m

This piqued my interest Steve, can you elaborate? I’ve tried searching for more detail, but think I need to understand where you are starting from.

That’s the dd command. It’s a unix command that’s available on Macs (you can run it from a terminal). Just run “man dd” in the terminal for the man page. It’s the jackknife of disk IO. It can’t do more elaborate things like asynch mode, but it’s very useful.
