Nice, Ben.
Two things to add:
.) -p option on scp will preserve attributes as well
.) if security is not a concern (on a local home network), you can omit
the '-e "ssh -l username"' and simply provide the remote user name (if
different that the current user name) like
'[email protected]:/dest/location'
The transfer would be a little more efficient (but not necessarily
faster) w/out encryption.

If you need to preserve attributes such as uid/gid (owner, group) and
timestamps etc, you can use rsync:
rsync -av -e "ssh -l username" /some/dir/locationA
remote.host.name:/dest/location
preserving extended attributed and ACLs? try using
rsync -avAX -e "ssh -l username" /some/dir/locationA
remote.host.name:/dest/location
Want to try it out first to see what *would* happen (test run)?
rsync --dry-run -avAX -e "ssh -l username" /some/dir/locationA
remote.host.name:/dest/location

With SCP only one box has to run an SSH server and it does not mater
which, destination or source, but it does change the syntax.

There is not a "command to copy files from computer A to computer B when ssh
logged in...", but you can use SSH as a "transport" (regardless of which
computer you are logged-in-how, providing the the destination computer is
running an SSH server and you have the appropriate credentials) using:
Scenario 1:
scp u...@remotebox:/file/I/want /where/I/want/it
or
Scenario 2:
scp /file/I/want u...@remotebox:/where/I/want/it
YMMV... :)
