SCP is SecureCoPy and it's meant for transferring files across a wire... So in effect you're probably transferring it to your local computer and then transferring it back to the remote server.

Like FruitPanda said, you should just SSH into the box and use the cp command which is CoPy... That way everything stays local to your box. I recommend using PuTTY. It's free and works great... if you're on OS X just use terminal...

If you've never used ssh here's a couple things to help you out:

cd = change directory (just like in DOS [back in the day])
ls = list ... list the files in a directory
cp = copy

and for any command, you can type:

command --help (usually) and it'll display usage information. If it doesn't you can use

man command (usually) and it'll display the manual information for that command.

Those few things should at least let you get in there and move your files around.

Good luck!
