How to resume interrupted copy on Mac

Asked By belensienna 10 points N/A Posted on - 05/10/2013

Hi guys,

I am a mac user and I have recently started having issues with copying files and the entire process of copying files on my mac. The problem is there is no inbuilt resume tool when copying large files and something goes wrong meaning you have to start again.

What I want is for someone to recommend a good copy resume tool that I can install on my mac to fix this problem of how to resume interrupted copy on mac. Anyone who knows such a tool please reply to this post.

How to resume interrupted copy on Mac

 

You can do this using following command,

curl -C – -O file:///Volumes/path/to/desktop/location/filename

 

where -C - tells curl to continue where it left off copying, and -O to use the same output file name as the source. You need to execute the command from the folder which contains the partially copied file.
