scp gives you progress when you're copying from one machine to another over 
ssh. If you specify the local machine by name then it ssh'es into your local 
machine and gives you status but requires a password (you can get around 
this).

You can also use rsync --progress instead of cp if you want progress. It's 
overkill but it works.
