    I don't know that scp does that terrribly well.

    wget has a progress meter you might prefer - but is not natively SSH -
    this could be time to make a tunnel. Can you show us (or describe) a
    metering scheme you would like ?

    Are you transferring lots of files or one large file (where progress
    within an individual file would matter) ?

    Are large parts of your transfers repeated from one time to another
    (as is common with backups) ? (rsync sounds good if you are.)
