Hello,
[brolin at optiplex960] [0] [5] ~/
$ echo hello >hello.txt
...
[brolin at optiplex960] [1] [9] ~/
$ scp -pP 2222 hello.txt k7t266:~/
brolin at k7t266's password:
hello.txt
100% 6 0.0KB/s
00:00
[brolin at optiplex960] [0] [10] ~/
$
Why is the transfer rate "0.0KB/s"? That means nothing was
transferred. I think the transfer rate should be displayed in B/s
instead of KB/s if it is less than 0.1 KB/s because copying 6 bytes
but saying "0.0KB/s" is misleading and wrong to me.
Thanks,
Brolin
