Can scp be used to copy all files in a directory along with any subdirectories it may have ??

cd /directoryname

scp -r * targethost:/target_directory

You also might want to use the switch p as in scp -rp

Thanks, where do you find the man page with the scp options ?? my "man scp" didn't show them ??

scp is part of openssh, ported to HP-UX and re-named secure shell.

The product is fully documented at http://www.openssh.org

I find the man page a little lacking as well.

scp /?

provides a little.

The man page is incomplete in my opinion, I agree with you there.
