Showing transfer rates with cp

[Frank Staals]

Hey,

I have a rather small and maybe silly question but I it will provide me 
a lot info. I would like to see transfer rates when I use 'cp'. At home 
I have a FreeBSD server with a couple harddiscs in them. I work on my 
laptop and mount the discs from the server using NFS. But when copying 
files from server to laptop or vice versa I have no idea how long it 
will take before it is finished. Is there a way to show those speeds ? I 
also checked with scp but when mounted it kind of act like 'cp' and 
doesn't show anything

Thanks in advance
