Transfer Progress Meter
SFTP/SFTPOSS client displays a progress indicator during file transfers if enabled. The progress meter can be enabled
via command "progress on" and disabled via command "progress off". Entering the command progress without option
will switch between the states "progress enabled" and "progress disabled".
If progress is disabled, the only line displayed for a download is "Fetching <remote-file> to <local-file>" and for an
upload the line "Uploading <local-file> to <remote-file>" is shown.
In addition to option values on and off there is a third option "min" supported, which reduces the progress output to the
last line: "<count> bytes transferred in <time> seconds (<rate>MB/s)".
Command "progress ?" will display the current setting (on, off, or min).
