SCP from one solaris box to another without copying links

I am doing a scp (directory)from one solaris box to another.The problem is that all links present in that directory also get copied .I do not want the links to get copied .currently I am using
following syntax

scp -rvp pcserver info@appudemo.sea.us.wam.net:/home/info

I checked the man pages for scp ,but i am not able to find any option .

Please help me in this regard

You could use the find command to find all files that are links and output them to a file. Then use tar (with exclude option using the file you created). Then scp the tar file and then go to the server and extract.
