Would you recommend nnn for transfering ~5Tb of media between two local servers? Seems like a weird question but it’s something I’ll have to do soon.

No. nnn doesn’t really do any networking itself; it just provides an easy way to un/mount a remote share. nnn is just a TUI file manager. For transfering 5TB of media, I’d acquire a 5TB USB 3.2 drive, copy the data onto it, walk or drive it over to the other server, plug it in there, and copy it over. If I had to use the network to transfer 5TB, I’d probably resort to something like rsync, so that when something interrupts the transfer, you can resume with minimum fuss.

Why not just use rsync?
