Using rsync will be a far more reliable way to copy files locally than scp. It will also be far less computationally intensive. scp can use a lot of CPU time. I know on one of my older Suns which has Gbit ethernet, copying between two systems with Gbit ethernet is slowed if scp is used due to the encryption/decryption.

rsync seems to preserve more attributes about files than does scp, cp or tar.
