scp is certainly easy to use. rsync is much more efficient in a scenario

where you're trying to keep a backup copy in sync. After the first copy,

which isn't much different from scp performance wise, rsync only copies

files that have changed.



With either program, ownerships and permissions can get screwed up if

you're not careful to use the proper flags. -a for 'archive' is usually

a good choice for rsync, -p to preserve permissions and dates for scp.

See the man page(s) for the full gamut.
