fcp is a significantly faster alternative to the classic Unix cp command. It’s optimized for systems with an SSD. On systems with a HDD, fcp may exhibit poor performance.
fcp aims to handle the most common use-cases of cp with much higher performance. It doesn’t aim to completely replace cp with its myriad options.
This is free and open source software.
