Thanks for the pointers. They helped out a lot. The script I ended up
with is:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
echo I need to know the file/directory to copy
else
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
scp -r $1 u...@somehost:~/upload/
else
scp -r $1 u...@somehost:~/$2/
fi
fi
I named the script scp_hostname, and then made an alias to it in
the .bashrc.
