If you as a sysadmin want your naive users to see the progress bar, you
can alias scp to "scp -l" (or whatever the option would be) in the default
shell prefs, just as many admins alias rm to "rm -i"

But as has been said repeatedly, scp is supposed to be just the secure
version of rcp, and I've never seen a version of rcp with a progress bar.

 too young to have logged on yet.  Here's what I worry about.  I worry
 that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
 were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
