As a side note, Filezilla does SFTP which is an encrypted protocol 
included by default with SSH2. I find SCP to be terribly slow and 
generally have a poor interface. Since finding Filezilla and seeing how 
easy it is to use with the default install of SSH2 under linux, I've 
completely removed FTP from my linux box. I suggest others do the same :)
