From what I've seen of it it doesn't support stdin & stdout, it needs a
counter to get a gauge progress bar.

I've tried 'bar' now and it could do the job only it doens't work with
lukemftp for some reason. It did work with ncftp but I want a user input
of the password.

if I could only get the original 'progress' command which is used on
NetBSD.
