The only advantage of rsync is if you're updating data that's already in

advantage.
Don't get me wrong, rsync is a brilliant hammer, for when you need a
hammer. But when you need a screwdriver, use scp.
When I suggested rsync I was thinking of the case when he's done with
the laptop and wants to get his .pan2 back to his main computer.
