Going to have to be a little more clear on what you're looking to do, before you can get help. Describe your problem/goal.

Are you trying to copy whole directories from one location to another? Try "cp -R <source> <destination>". Look at the man page for CP, to see all the options.

It would help to show an example of the scripts you have found...

If they are doing a progress bar in the terminal, I assume they are using something like dialog for the display.

What is the code that actually makes the progress bar?

But--as for the original question--instead of using "stat" to get the file size, I'm guessing you'll want something like du (unless there's a stat option that does the same thing)
