sftp with progress indicator?

Post by Jem Berke » Sat, 02 Mar 2002 13:19:26



Has anyone modified the sftp from openssh yet so that it has at least some
sort of a basic progress indicator? My bet is that lots more people would
use sftp as opposed to plain of ftp, if only it was a bit more user
friendly :)

I've considered hacking it myself, but I don't want to do that if it's
already been done.

FYI, I use scp commands instead of sftp, and it includes a progress metter.

1. 'dd' command with progress indicator

Is there a replacement or enhancement to the 'dd' command that will
allow you to monitor the progress of a dd operation?  I'm using dd to
read and write some very large (500MB+) across an ethernet connection.
I'd like to monitor the progress of my job but 'dd' doesn't output
anything until the very end.  Some kind of progress indicator showing
the percent read/written would be nice.
