If this is something you plan to do fairly often, I'd write a shell
script wrapper around scp called scpproxy that essentially did:

for file in $@; do

	scp $file tmpfile
	scp tmpfile destination
	rm tmpfile
done

The processing would be a little more complicated than that, since
your destination would be the last command-line arg, and there could
be more than one source file in the scp command.  I'm just in a hurry
to leave to write it...  headed to the beach.  ;-)
