I use SSH extensively for this purpose. I’ve been looking for some tools to keep track of bandwidth usage using the command line for a while and recently found some that do exactly what I want.

After a quick search I found a post on the OC Forums that suggests install sysstat, which does exactly what I want. Installation is simple:

iostat
You can also set it to automatically refresh by putting the number of seconds to refresh in after the command. For example, to refresh every five seconds, type:
iostat 5
