Is there any advanced MOVE command with GUI-kinda interface

Question

While downloading a file,in command-line, we have WGET which shows us the progress of the download. Similarly, is there any command which gives us visual status of the process(move).

Not mv per se, but close: http://askubuntu.com/q/17275/158442 — muru, Sep 01 '14 at 13:37

rsync: Rsync moves files with --remove-source-files and has a -P switch for a progress bar. So if you have rsync installed, you could use a simple alias in your shells dotfile:

alias mv='rsync -aP --remove-source-files'

... although rsync might be a bit slower.

Nice. You should add that to http://askubuntu.com/questions/17275/progress-and-speed-with-cp, which has some other alternatives as well. – muru Sep 01 '14 at 13:42

The OP was clear: move, not copy... – Radu Rădeanu Sep 01 '14 at 20:49

If he wants to view progress when moving files, I suspect that he's actually "moving" them between two different file systems. If this is the case, than "move" is really "copy+remove". – Andrea Corbellini Sep 05 '14 at 18:34
