Issues with SFTP

[Lacoss-Arnold, Jason]

It would be good to also have "hash" display progress as many ftp users
consider it to be core functionality.  Setting mget and mput as aliases to
get and put would also ease confusion.  Basically, if you're going to steal
the semantics of ftp, please do it as fully as possible.  

Thanks,

but the concept of 'ascii' is unknown to the sftp
client, the server and the protocol. despite it's
make sftp has nothing in common with ftp.

someone could steal code from scp and implement this.
