FYI, scp has a nice -p option to preserve that info. Couldn't live
without it!
If you have scads of little files then tar is your friend, as that'll
take a lot of extra time with plain scp -rp. If that 11GB is made of
files in the MB range then scp will make good enough use of bandwidth.
If the large files aren't already compressed then using -C with scp will
also help a lot.
