[TxMt] scp for TM?

[s.ross]

I've hit on a development methodology where when I want to modify one  
file on a server quickly, I make the changes to my local copy, then  
scp it to the remote machine. That saves me the overhead and security  
problems of having an (S)FTP server running on my production box.  
Which brings me to the question:

Is there some really easy way to build a command (or is there one  
already built) that will scp a file to a server relative to its  
location in a project? For example, if my DocumentRoot on the server  
is /var/www/myfinewebsite and I want to modify a file like includes/ 
stupid_php_why_isnt_this_rails.php on my local machine, I'd like it  
to scp to uname at mydomain.com:/var/www/myfinewebsite/includes.

Is this something someone else has done? Any thoughts about this  
practice?

Thanks,

Steve
