The only advantage of rsync is if you're updating data that's already in place on the laptop to bring it in sync with the data on your PC. I say "only advantage", but that's where rsync shines, and it's a *big* advantage. Don't get me wrong, rsync is a brilliant hammer, for when you need a hammer. But when you need a screwdriver, use scp.
When I suggested rsync I was thinking of the case when he's done with the laptop and wants to get his .pan2 back to his main computer.
