Bug ID: 2701
Summary: sftp and scp show wrong units for speeds and file
sizes in progress meter
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 7.4p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: sftp

Proposed patch to use units recommended by IEEE
Reading through IEEE_1541-2002 [1], OpenSSH progress meter code is
wrongly using K, M, G, T prefixes as a multiplies of 1024. The data
should be divided either by 1000 or the correct prefixes should be used
(Ki, Mi, Gi, Ti).
This can be very confusing for users [2] who compare the sizes with
other tools presenting sizes in correct format.
