Post subject:  file copying - easy way to have LINUX time a file copy?
I'd like to test out my new network gear without using a stopwatch. Is there an easy way to literally time how long it takes to copy files from one location to another and when finished, report the total time?

Any command can be clocked with time.
Code:
time scp file user@blah.blah.blah.blah:/path/to/blah

I wonder what I'd kind find if I googled 'windows scp'? I wonder what would happen if I simply turned on Samba and explored my neighborhood?

I don't think the scp is needed... if I do a
Code:
$ time cp /path/to/file /path/to/destination
it returns the time as well. I did find a utility for win32 called robocopy.exe which works (part of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools which is a free d/l.

Code:
E:\Test>robocopy VIDEO_TS y:\ VTS_01_1.VOB

Do you need to run the command from the Windows side?
or could you just try:
time cp user@RemotePC:/path/to/blah /path/to/destination

Thanks for the post, turpie. I actually found that robocopy works great for my purposes.
