To tell scp what to copy. eg..
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ~/
to copy /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf from lisa to your home folder.

scp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/httpd/conf/
to copy /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf from the local machine to lisa.

scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/stuff/*.doc theotherbox:~/destdir/

Just like cp, except it lets you put in hostnames as source or dest locations.
