Like most commands in the Linux world, the 
scp
 command supports verbose mode. 
If you want to see how the 
scp
 command progresses as it copies multiple files, add 
the 
-v
 option:
scp -rv /home/jdoe/downloads/linux_iso jdoe@192.168.1.50:downloads 
Well, there you have it. The 
scp
 command isn't overly complex or advanced, but 
it's really great for situations in which you want to perform a one-time copy of a file 
from one node to 
another. Since it copies files over SSH, you benefit from its 
security, 
and it also integrates well with your existing SSH configuration. An example of 
this integration is the fact that 
scp
 recognizes your 
~/.ssh/config
 file (if you have 
one), so you can shorten the command even further. Go ahead and practice with it 
a bit, and in the next section, we'll go over yet another trick that OpenSSH has up 
its sleeve.
