It's invaluable.

I'm half tempted to set it as my login shell for remote systems.

But.. won't help if the link goes down long enough for TCP to timeout
(~25 mins IIRC)

BTW, rsync is almost always better, and is much faster for many small
files because it uses one SSH connection for all the files, instead of
one for each file like scp.  The TCP handshake and teardown is
significant, especially if there's a long RTT, and each SSH session
requires a public-key operation (and hash).

Still, it's neat to know that you aren't hosed if you did use scp.
