Carl, try this:

scp -rp from.this.host.com:/path/to/dir /path/to/destination

  -r recursive
  -p preserve permissions (if you need it)

In a second terminal window, keep a connection open to the source host so 
you can ls the dirs you need.

Does anyone know of an application that gives you an ncftp "like" 
interface to sftp? I need to move a *lot* of directories and so far 
haven't figured out an easy way to do this with sftp. 

Thanks all, 
Carl P.
