For directories I tend to use rsync with ssh as the transport. Just
set $RSYNC_RSH to "ssh" and go:
cd target-dir
rsync -avHP host:/path/to/dir/. .
Or just:
cd target-dir
ssh host 'cd /path/to/dir || exit 1; tar cf - .' | tar xf -
if I'm moving the whole directory, sometimes with an rsync afterwards to
make sure it was all good.
