Mar 04, 2019 TL; DR: Grsync is a free open-source platform that fills a specific need in the development community: providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for rsync. Rsync is a powerful tool for synchronizing files and folders, and, though it has many other useful features, it lacks a responsive interface. For users who aren’t familiar with —. Truck is a client GUI for rsync – the same algorithm found at the heart of Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, SkyDrive, OwnDrive, etc. It uses the Paramiko SSH library to provide encryption. It is written in Python and uses the Qt framework thanks to the PyQt bindings. Where tighter integration with MacOS is required, PyObjC has worked.

I am a new Unix user. I am using rsync to upload and download a large size files. Is there a way to display the progress bar for file? How do I show progress while copying files using rsync locally or remotely on Linux or Unix like operating systems?
rsync is free and open source tool. It is useful to copy local or remote file. It reduces the amount of data sent over the network by sending only the differences between the source files and the existing files in the destination. You can use any one of the following options to add a total progress indicator when copying files from serverA to serverB or vice versa.

1. rsync command to with --progress option.
2. pv command – monitor the progress of data or data transfer through a pipe. This is a recommend option for most users.

rsync command to show progress bar

You need to use the --progress or -P option which show progress during file transfer. The syntax is as follows:

OR

In this example, copy files from a remote server:

Sample outputs:

The --info=progress2 option shows statistics based on the whole transfer, rather than individual files. Use this flag without outputting a filename (e.g. avoid -v or specify –info=name0 if you want to see how the transfer is doing without scrolling the screen with a lot of names.

Sample outputs:

In this example copy from local computer to remote server:
$ rsync -v --progress debian-9-openstack-amd64.qcow2 vivek@centos7:~/virt/

Use pv command to monitor progress of rsync command

The pv command allows you to see the progress of data through a pipeline. It provides the following info:

1. Time elapsed
2. Percentage completed (with progress bar)
3. Current throughput rate
4. Total data transferred
5. ETA
