You can overwrite files using scp and rsync just fine. See this example. $ cd /tmp $ date > foo $ scp foo othermachine:/tmp/ foo 100% 29 0.0KB/s 00:00 $ scp foo othermachine:/tmp/ foo 100% 29 0.0KB/s 00:00 $ rsync -v foo othermachine:/tmp/ foo sent 67 bytes received 37 bytes 208.00 bytes/sec total size is 29 speedup is 0.28 There isn't any problem overwriting files with scp or rsync.
