I would have to say that is the worst help message I've seen...

Anyway:  lets say that you want to copy a file 'myfile.txt' from the
host 192.168.2.1 to the computer your logged into.  You would probably
do:

scp 192.168.2.1:/path/to/file/myfile.txt .

If you wanted to copy a local file to the host you would do:

scp myfile.txt 192.168.2.1:/path/to/file

And then scp should take care of all the rest.

		Good luck,

PS - You can do directories and stuff too, don't be afraid to use '*' or
to list a bunch of files and then put a directory at the end.
