scp in reverse?

[azlobo73]

<beats dead horse some more>

On a related note:  in ssh, there is a -l switch to specify user, but
not in scp (instead that switch sets a limit on bandwidth in Kb/s).

On another related note:  You can greatly simplify connection
strings/commands, either with bash or csh aliases, or with Host
sections in your ~/.ssh/config (see "man ssh_config", and "man
sshd_config" if you're the admin and can't get your local config file
to 'take' - e.g., isn't allowed by sshd_config, etc).
