BCMR (Better Copy Move Remove) is a modern CLI tool for file operations, written in Rust. It offers progress tracking, resume support, integrity verification, and SSH remote copy.

If you don't have it yet, head to install first — this page assumes the bcmr binary is on your $PATH.

Quick Start

# Copy a file
bcmr copy document.txt backup/

# Recursively copy a directory
bcmr copy -r projects/ backup/

# Move files
bcmr move old_file.txt new_location/

# Remove with confirmation
bcmr remove -r old_project/

# Dry run — preview without changes
bcmr copy -r -n projects/ backup/

Next Steps
