scp back to *me* (Wish report)

[Ahmed Kamal]

Hi,

Thanks for the extra-ordinarily excellent package ssh. I love all the devs
helping out with ssh.
I am not subscribed to the list, so if anyone wants to reply, kindly CC me.

Wish report:
=========
When I ssh from 'laptop' to 'server', and I see a file I want to scp back to
my laptop. The typical way for almost everyone (unless I am totally
mistaken) is to:
scp file user at laptop
and enter his password for the laptop. This is per transferred file!
Unfortunately, this is too cumbersome! I was thinking of a FTP like 'get'
functionality, so basically on the server, if you scp a file and don't
specify a destination, it is automatically copied back to *me* in the
current folder. So, to copy a file over scp, I would
scp file
This is way easier/faster. Not sure if this can be implemented without
breaking compatibility somehow. Anyway, that's just what I wanted to say.

Thanks again, and best regards
