I don't understand where the confusion is with scp. It's just like cp, except you have a syntax for making some of the arguments remote. It doesn't change the order, it always does semantically the same thing of moving something(s) somewhere.

This is not to criticize - we all have places our mental models break down unexpectedly. I'm just interested in how that's happening.
