scp will work fine for individual files, or even all files in one
directory.  rsync can descend directories, and will only copy files that
have changed between the server and the client.  If you are only copying
a single file or a couple of files, scp is probably the wway to go.  rsync
is more useful for syncing a hierarchy of files.
