I should know better than to get involved with a budding flame war like this'un. What, "extended functionality," are you referring to, besides a graphical user interface? Unfortunately, setting the executable permission on a remote file is considered a security hole. I'd RTFM the ssh(d|-config|<whatever>) man page to find out if that can be configured. Unfortunately, I don't have the ssh server documentation here at the moment. In terms of megabytes, the majority of my file transfers happen by shell scripts. I tend to use rsync, though not with ssh on the other end. It works great for mirroring.
