Nor the fabulously efficient transfer of only the changed bits of a
file. :)
I agree completely that rsync is a better tool for most jobs like this
and use it all the time myself, while I only rarely use scp.
Of course, it's man page is rather large and can be daunting to get
your head around on first read. But it's features make it well worth
the time spent learning to use it.
