Hi.

Not sure whether this has already been discussed previously (because it
seems so basic to me), but at least I haven't found it.

Right now, scp overwrites files (both when copied locally or remotely).

scp, being a conceptual relative to cp, should provide something like
cp's "-i".


Cheers,
Chris.
