I use scp all the time, when I want to just send or receive a single file
and know exactly where the file is located and where it's going without
having to search through directories.

Of course, I'm pretty sure the scp command I use is just an interface for
the SFTP protocol that behaves the way the old scp program that used the
SCP protocol worked.
