Rsync show progress for individual file

I'm using rsync to upload/download a pretty large file (20Gb). I'm aware of --progress option, but what it does in my case is just showing me the result at the end.

My problem is that during some unstable connection - I don't know whether it's still downloading/uploading or something went wrong. Is there a way to show the progress bar for an individual file? Something similar to what wget does by default?

Thanks!

This might be what you're after.

% rsync -avvz --times --stats --checksum --human-readable --acls \
    --itemize-changes --progress \
    --out-format='[%t] [%i] (Last Modified: %M) (bytes: %-10l) %-100n' \
    /usr/include/glib-2.0 my-glib-copy/

The switches breakdown as follows:

• -avvz = archive, verbose x 2, compress
• --times = preserve modification times
• --stats = give some file-transfer stats
• --checksum = skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size
• --human-readable = output numbers in a human-readable format
• --acls = preserve ACLs (implies -p)
• --itemize-changes = output a change-summary for all updates
• --progress = show progress during transfer
• --out-format='[%t] [%i] (Last Modified: %M) (bytes: %-10l) %-100n'
  • %t = current date time
  • %i = an itemized list of what is being updated
  • %M = the last-modified time of the file
  • %-10l = the length of the file in bytes (-10 is for alignment and precision)
  • %-100n = the filename (short form; trailing "/" on dir) (-100 is for alignment and precision)

NOTE: See the man pages for rsync and rsyncd.conf for full details on the above switches.

The above command produces the following transcript:

Progress Bar in newer versions of rsync?

I came across this SF question:

• Showing total progress in rsync: is it possible?

One of the answers mentioned that in newer versions of rsync there is now support for a progress bar. It looks like this:

% ./rsync -a --info=progress2 /usr .
    305,002,533  80%   65.69MB/s    0:00:01  xfr#1653, ir-chk=1593/3594)

This progress bar still doesn't show the status of individual files in the transfer, but it does show a percentage of the overall transfer which might be helpful.

rsync -vP works for me.

From the man page: "-P same as --partial --progress"
