Hi folks, is there a way, to visualize data transfer in the shell? Years ago, I used a command like "hash on" or similar, which shows a progress bar made of hash (#) signs in the shell, when I transferred data with i.e. rsync.
If you're talking watching data transfer during an ftp tranfer, then "hash" is exactly the right command (see man ftp).
With rsync, it's the --progress flag (see man rsync)If you're more interested in transfer via a network port, then vnstat and ntop are the tools for the job.
