cp command with progress indicator
 

does anyone know fo a command line copy program/command that has a progrss indicator?

You could use scp and just copy the file to localhost. I believe that you can use it just like cp.

scp file.1 /etc/file.1

or if it doesn't

scp file.1 <username>@localhost:/etc/file.1

You will have to provide your password for the last one though.
