This uses https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/schollz/progressbar/v3 in the most basic way. Copying larger files can get very confusing without feedback because it can be unclear on how much progress has been made, whether progress is ongoing, and how long until the command will be complete. A progress bar helps a lot for understandability.
File copying is currently implemented by synchronously sending bytes to be copied to all targets, so a single progress bar is sufficient for tracking progress across all targets.
Example of how this looks mid-run:
I've put in a "is directory" check too because the previous code confusingly hung indefinitely when asked to copy a directory.
