copy / xcopy / xcopy32

During the copying process, is there a way to display percentage completed.
Would like to use a batch file to copy files from a workstation to the
server. Some files could be 800mb.

ie

Copying... file 23% completed

Sure, any copy utility could be coded that way. I don't think I know
of any console apps (command-line apps) that are.

If you know a programming language, it wouldn't be hard to do. YOu
have to get the size of the file first (readily available), then keep
track of how many bytes you've copied. Every 10% or 5% or whatever you
decide you write a message to the console.
