           Summary: add rate limit command to sftp
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.3p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P4
         Component: sftp
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: Deepak.Kaul at gsfc.nasa.gov


Add a command to sftp that will allow the transfer rate to be limited like scp.

prompt> scp -l <Kbit/s> <localfile> <user>@<host>:<remotefile>

would limit the scp transfer rate

Adding this to sftp would be extremely useful.  Here is an example of what I
would like to see

prompt> sftp <user>@<host>
sftp> limit <Kbit/s>
sftp> put <localfile1> <remotefile1>
sftp> limit
sftp> put <localfile2> <remotefile2>
sftp> exit
prompt> 

Limit with a number after it would limit the bandwidth Kbit/s.
Limit with nothing after it would not limit the bandwidth.
