Do you mean something other than cp -v ?
I prefer mc to copy files and of course it shows its progress.

in KDE:

kfmclient copy $SOURCE $TARGET

Many thanks guys (or girls ?) for the quick response,
The purpose was to get a progressbar during the cp command.
So the solution of Probono is the closest one for me.
But if one should know how to do it with 'cp' and get a progressbar in the console it is even better.

Probono,
1)With copy command from kde are there switches available (a bit like the ones from cp ?).This question since there are no man pages availble for this.
2)Is there a place I can consult all these kfmclient commands ?

Thanks in advance,
