            Bug ID: 3945
           Summary: scp shows estimated remaning time for a file transfer
                    but incorrectly says "ETA"
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 10.2p1
          Hardware: ARM64
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: scp
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: ragge at kth.se

When you copy file(s) with scp, the estimated remaining time for the
transfer is showed, but with the added text "ETA", the abbreviation for
"Estimated Time of Arrival", which should be point in time (e.g.
date+time).
The correct text would be "ETE", "Estimated Time En Route", which is a
time duration, or in other words, an amount of time, which is what scp
shows.
