scp removing the file after successful copy?

[Andrew Pollock]

G'day,

Sorry for the intrusion, just wondering if there are any plans to add a -u
type option to scp like the commercial SSH's scp has, which removes
the file after a successful copy? (particularly when copying a remote file 
to local)

I was involved recently with a replacement of the commercial SSH with 
OpenSSH, and the lack of a -u option to scp caused some pain.

I did a quick search of this lists' archives, and I can see some comments
relating to this sort of functionality in the past, including some
patches, but it never seems to have made it into the mainstream release.

Can I make this a feature request?

regards

Andrew
