Copy files via command line or Node.js.

Why?

  • Resume ability via state saving allows you to copy hundreds of thousands of files without having to start over.
  • Parallel transfers can increase speed of transferring smaller files over network connections such as Samba.
  • Because sometimes you need to copy a lot of stuff!
