[Cialug] scp w/full path

[David Champion]

Or... copy your cmd into "sync_my_files_i_am_lazy.sh"

In one of the first Unix books I read, the author talked about Artificial
Laziness vs. True Laziness. In the first, you're too lazy to write the
script so you re-do your work every time, in the second, you create the
script and can be lazy in the future.
