You could also tar it with -p. which would preserve the permissions, and then scp it, but rsync is probably a better idea.

Not everyone can drop 10+ grand on a nokia firewall that has everything packaged into a nice gui. Regarding the email addr: If you look further, you'll the wink (I was ribbing you).
