Sometimes I copy large numbers of files and folders, 2 or more GB. It would be helpful if I could see how far through the task the program has progressed.
I have been using Copy-Item -Path $sourcePath -destination $kpath -recurse -force
This works quite well where $sourcepath is something like "F:\Music\W\Whitlams" (source) and $kpath is something like "K:\W\Whitlams" (destination)
I have tried using write-progress without success. It appears not to work with the Copy-Item cmdlet. I had a bit of success with Start-BitsTransfer in that I can get a listing of the files and a progress bar comes up but it does not actually progress. I would like to get a working progress bar without listing the files/folders being copied. There are too many to be useful.
I expect that I can monitor progress without significant loss of transfer speed between stations in my windows 10/11 workgroup and without cluttering up the console.
