Yes - have a look at bash's documentation, especially regarding functions.
You can declare functions in your bashrc. You can make one similar to this
(not 100% accurate since I can't remember the syntax off the top of my
head):
sub scp() {
if [ numargs -lt 2 ]; then
/usr/bin/scp $1 u...@somehost:
else
/usr/bin/scp $@ <<< $@ means the whole arg list.
fi
}
Then, calling "scp somefile" will invoke "/usr/bin/scp somefile
u...@somehost:"
