What FTP command or switch will display the number of bytes
transferred? Something like this:

"SENDING DATA SET" and the dataset name

1000000 bytes transferred
2000000 bytes transferred
3000000 bytes transferred
4000000 bytes transferred
5000000 bytes transferred
....
....
....

"TRANSFER COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY" and "439664115 BYTES RECEIVED IN
78486 SECONDS 560.18 KBYTES/SEC"

put or send don't give you stats at the end. I don't think you're
going to ever get progressive stats. If you want a progress, try
Filezilla, a free ftp GUI program. It allows multiple connections and
shows each file's progress. Also its just more simple to use than
command line. You can send folders and multiple files as easy as
explorer CTRL+click etc. functions.

The closest thing that command-line FTP has is the "hash" command
which will print a symbol each time a certain number of bytes have
been transferred.
