Its a "classic"...
I havent yet tried a variant to use in ssh mode (since you were using scp...) or style, perhaps you will give me a good solution (while Im busy at other things... but I know it will be handy for me beginning next year...)
I till now used for such purpose (copying filsystem content from on host to another) 2 things:
1)the use of .rhosts file
2) tar
command on source host:
go the the source directory and type
Code:
tar -cf - * | remsh <remotehost> "(cd <dest_dir>;tar -xvf -)"

virt-tar-out(1) 					      Virtualization Support						   virt-tar-out(1)

NAME
virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball. SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-out" packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball. The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine directory. The second parameter is the tar file to write. Use "-" to write to standard output. EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a guest: virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly. OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options. SEE ALSO
