Explain the command used. Always confused when people try to copy a file form a local file system to another local file system and tell us it does not work. There are nice options like cp and rsync for example for this simple job.

Unfortunately in plain U**X there are no verbose options available, including cp (no cp -v ...). Alternate, rsync -av comes into my mind.
First thing I would ask for is a file system check to be run un both the source and destination file systems.
If the cp does terminate after small data amounts, have an eye what the Kernel does output using dmesg

If the disk is connected to the front USB port, then try switching to the rear. The front port is USB 2.0 (and only delivers USB 2.0 power levels). The rear ports are USB 3.0.
It is of course also possible to copy the file over the network to a different destination.
