Small utilities written when I have failed to find a suitable alternative when needed.

cp2exfat

Originally written to copy files from an ext4 filesystem to an exfat MicroSDXC card, where the ext4 paths may contain characters which are invalid on an exfat filesystem.

$ cp2exfat -h
usage: cp2exfat [-h] [-n] [--verbosity LEVEL] SRC DST

Recursively copy a directory to an exfat target

positional arguments:
  SRC                source directory
  DST                destination directory

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -n, --dry-run      simulate, but do not make changes
  --verbosity LEVEL  logging level: CRITICAL,ERROR,[WARNING],INFO,DEBUG

Requires Python 3.

n.b. The morning after, it feels like there should be a simpler solution to this, either using rsync or piping find SRC -type f via tr [-d] to cp.
