Is there an option for no-clobber (does not overwrite existing files) in the command scp? "man scp" doesn' t reveal anything. I got one hit in google which indicated that there was but perhaps that was the GNU version of scp.

Sorry, I've looked for something like this several times myself, but
never found anything.
What I tend to do now is scp everything to a new directory, and then mv
-i it to the final spot. Does nothing to conserve disk space or network
traffic, though...

Does rsync do what you want (update only the modified files)?

It sounds like you want the semantics of rsync -a. See the rsync man page for instructions on using ssh as the transport, I have done this before and it works wonderfully.

Actually, yes. I always forget about it, as it's just a little more
complicated and I've not tried it. But yes, one guy where I used to work
swore by it, using it all the time for just this reason.
Good catch.
