    Heck to the yeah. I usually run

    rsync -av src/ dst/

    Which is verbose and archive mode (keeps mod times, user, etc). You can also add -P for progress.

    Here is the man page https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync

    If it gets interrupted, just run that same command again.

    Edit: also it’s usually preinstalled on every Linux distro and should be easy to install for Windows too.
