Or, scp myothermachine:source/directory/on/other/machine myfile
or, if you have a different username on the remote system:
scp username@myothermachine:source/directory/on/other/machine myfile

It's really a lot like a normal 'cp' with the usual arguments and the
added syntax of user@machine to define the remote access information.
