You do not need the first user@machine1 in the line eg.

scp file_to_be_copied.txt user@machine_to_be_copied_too:/path/to/directory/to/save/files/

or to go the other way:

scp  user@machine_to_be_copied_from:/path.../copy/file.txt file_to_be_saved.txt

I got sick of forgetting the scp syntax every other day. Why don't you open konqueror and goto fish://userid@serverip? I'm using this right now, fish://[email protected], to copy files to and from a remote PC from my home konqueror window!
