Bug#708372: don't say "100%" until the file is really fully transmitted
X-Debbugs-Cc: tri@iki.fi,ylo@cs.hut.fi
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.2p1-3
Severity: important
scp prints "100%" at the very beginning of the transmission.
Whereupon people think the job is done and close down their computers
only to discover the next day the file was not fully transmitted to
their boss after all etc. etc.
$ scp big_file mysite.com:
dieyuan_logo_1181x1073.jpg 100% 794KB 793.9KB/s 00:00
It should wait for the file to really be fully transited before saying that!
A clear and undeniable bug.
Try it on a slow connection for proof!
