DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

After learning recently that transferring files from HD_a2 to HD_b2 via Windows Explorer involves the files being routed from the NAS to the PC, and back to the NAS, I am no longer going to copy them between drives in that fashion. Using Putty to the DNS323 via SSH, the copy goes LIGHTNING fast. This comes after upgrading the two Seagate 7200.10 ST3500630AS, to two WD20EARS drives. 1 of them has successfully been re-formatted to allow for the 4k sectors. Thats when I started moving files around. For comparison's sake, 300 meg video takes 7+ minutes from Windows Explorer on 802.11G, took (rough estimate) around 30 seconds or less via SSH. The ONLY draw back to this, is lack of any indication of duration, or progress aside from monitoring the data moved/copied with Explorer.

Is there a way to have a progress bar, or some kind of text with percentages, or xx / yy (14 / 20 ) files completed or something??

Also, lets say I am in the middle of the transfer with Putty. If I shutdown the PC while it is in progress, will it be halted, or will it continue to go afterwards? (im too chicken to test it out, hahaha.

Thanks all

Also, just to put it out there, While I have owned my DNS 323 since shortly after it was released, I think about 5ish years now, I am still a Linux N00b. I can get around the command prompt easy enough, but I don't quite understand how things work together, and I only know a few select commands. Google is my friend... Try to go easy on me. I found a few things in google, mostly referring to how to code stuff for a Linux GUI system.
