I'll have to check that out. I was just desperate one afternoon after dropbox was failing to sync because of connectivity issues, and I knew bash just well enough to split, scp, rm, repeat.

You may also want to look into using rsync as an alternative to scp. rsync is much smarter about how it syncs data, so it should be better for your use case.
Look at rsync. rsync -avP file host:/path/on/host Repeat if it fails. It will not retransfer already transferred data.
