Create a 100kb file with dd for example and just sftp it. It will tell you the time.

Hi zaxxon,

Thanks for your reply.
i created a 100 kb file using dd.........dd if=/dev/zero of=file1 bs=1024 count=100
when i sftp'd the the file from one server to another server...i got the time like

sftp> put file1 /tmp/load
Uploading file1 to /tmp/load/file1
file1 100% 100KB 100.0KB/s 00:00
sftp>

but the time gives me '00.00'
Is there some way i change this format to miliseconds....as i need the sftp time in mili seconds...

Thanks and Regards,
Vivek.
