Another thing I've started doing is to use a local ftp client like
lftp and connect with a protocol that supports sftp. Sftp runs under
the ssh channel as long as sftp is also installed. so if I were
sitting on machine a, I could use the ftp client or even the sftp
command, for that matter, to log into machine B. This way, I can
peruse directories like any other ftp site and pick and choose which
files to transfer. One thing I never liked about scp is I could never
tab complete on the remote system.
