You can obviously send directories with scp, just use -r. Or am I missing something?

Recently used it to copy half a terabyte of stuff on my home network. Unsure about the exact specification but it supported the same flags as cp as far as I could tell.

Well I'll be damned.. not sure what lead me to think this.

Yes -r works for copying directories. I do it all the time
