Gary,
If you're just trying to do file transferring/sharing in a local
'secure' network, I suggest Samba in place of scp. You might also want
to consider Samba + VPN as well; scp is great for porting files over
long distances, or a last resort for dealing with Unix <=> Windows
transferring, but just seems incredibly kludgey when dealing with
files/directories otherwise (having to maintain an ssh connection,
having to install a scp/ssh client per machine for instance are what I
consider kludgey).
Cheers,
-Garrett
