scp in and of itself - which pretty much does what you describe here-
above, i.e. copy from one machine to another - also has a progress 
indicator.  scp is part of the ssh client package, as is sftp.

  $ man scp

  $ man sftp

In case someone/I haven't mentioned it, 'pv' (pipe viewer) also
gives progress info; in case you can't find pipemeter.

I am very interested in gcp program. However, I cannot make it work.

I have downloaded gcp tar file and untar it. Now I have the directory gcp-0.1.3 sitting at my home directory. Inside there are:
CHANGELOG  COPYING  MANIFEST.in  README  distribute_setup.py  fr.po  gcp  gcp.1  gcp.po  i18n  setup.py  test_gcp.py

I have also downloaded python progress tar file and untar it. Now I have the directory progressbar\-2.2 sitting at my home directory. Inside there are:
LICENSE  MANIFEST  MANIFEST.in  PKG-INFO  README  progressbar.py  setup.py

Now, when I tried to copy 1.txt to 2.txt(I am at the home and 1.txt is at home too)
$./gcp\-0.1.3/gcp 1.txt 2.txt
  File "./gcp-0.1.3/gcp", line 114
    class Journal():
                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Could anybody kindly guide me on installing gcp? Thank you very much.

gcp requires two other pieces: progressbar and distribute. gcp runs
only under X.

When you download something and the directory contains a file
setup.py

You do:
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

You will have to download progressbar from here:
http://code.google.com/p/python-progressbar/

You download distribute from here:
http://packages.python.org/distribute/

Debian:
    aptitude install gcp
    gcp /some/big/file /to/here

Otherwise:
    wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/g/gcp/gcp-0.1.3.tar.bz2
    tar xjf gcp-0.1.3.tar.bz2
    wget http://python-progressbar.googlecode.com/files/progressbar-2.3.tar.gz
    tar xzf progressbar-2.3.tar.gz
    cd gcp-0.1.3
    ln -s ../progressbar-2.3/progressbar
    ./gcp /some/big/file /to/here

Actually, it would make more sense (to me) to drop gcp into /usr/local/bin
but I haven't investigated what would need to go where to make this
work correctly.

You need to enter into each directory,
and run "setup.py" to install.
check below page out and root's post in this thread.
http://www.hecticgeek.com/2012/03/gcp-command-line-file-copy-ubuntu-linux/

You should be able to install all via your package management system.
That would be best.
What distro do you have installed?
