The nicest point+drool interface for scp I've seen is in Nifty Telnet SSH
for the mac.  Click the "scp" button, pick files or directories for
transfer, and type in the remote path (or leave it blank to plop it all in
your homedir).

Has anyone seen such a beast for windows users?

Also Greg (woods at weird.com) mentioned something about setting up sshd to
allow users (such as webhosting customers) to transfer stuff via scp
without granting shell access.  That would be most handy in combination
with a decent windows scp client.

What I really don't get is why all the telnet/ssh combos have support for
file transfers, but it's next to impossible to find a nice free windows
ftp client that even does s/key, much less scp...
