Transfer big file with scp without blocking console and see progress

Problem statement:

1. I must move a large file from one host to another, I used scp for it.
2. But I need to use it without blocking console so that I can exit the terminal, so I should use nohup with scp and &.
3. But I wanna see progress after some time. 

After searching solution for this I found the screen. To transfer file with scp without blocking console:

• Step 1:
  execute this line to transfer file to remote host
  
  • This command will prompt for a password, give remoteHost's password.
• Step 2:
  And to detach the process from terminal press:
  Ctrl+a and then: d
  now you can exit terminal without exiting scp.
  
• Step 3:
  To see the status/progress of scp open a terminal and type:
  
  • This command'll attach scp to terminal.

To detach again follow Step 2.
