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.
