Best File Copy Software for Linux

Ultracopier is free and open source software licensed under GPL3 that acts as a replacement for files copy dialogs. Main features can include on-error resume and error/collision management. Brings multiple kind of communities together (users, developers, and designers). Works with all devices: hard drives, USB keys, CD-ROMs. On-demand customization through a large choice of skins and plugins. Ultracopier is faster than most default system tools. It provides many advanced features such as start/resume the copy process, speed limitation and search through the copy list. Ultracopier predicts internal and external errors. It results in detailed information dialogs which allow you to pick up the best solution (eg. always overwrite and overwrite if newer).

MiniCopier is a graphical copy manager. It provides more comfort and control over files copy operations than basic OS functions. With MiniCopier it is possible to queue several transfers, resume a copy that has failed, limit the speed or pause the copy. If a transfer fails, an error is logged and the rest of the queue is treated. MiniCopier tries to include most of the features of SuperCopier (Windows-only software) into a completely multi-platform program. Choose another name for the target if a file already exists. Add new transfers to the queue while a copy is already being processed. Set a default behavior if target file already exists.

Supercopier is free and open-source software licensed under GPL3 that acts as a replacement for files copy dialogs. Main features include play/pause, speed limitation, on-error resume, and error/collision management.

rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. rsync is freely available under the GNU General Public License. The GPG signing key that is used to sign the release files is available from the public pgp key-server network. If you have automatic key-fetching enabled, just running a normal "gpg --verify" will grab my key automatically. Or, feel free to grab the gpp key for Wayne Davison manually. rsync is a file transfer program for Unix systems. rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. Optionally preserves symbolic links, hard links, file ownership, permissions, devices and times. Internal pipelining reduces latency for multiple files.
