Nice thing Suraj, but I would simply do:
scp -r . remote.host:/path
Also, unlike the most popular belief tar doesn't restore permissions
unless the -p option is supplied.

Another thing I love doing is to move a directory and stuff underneath
it onto a remote machine:
tar -czf - . | ssh remote.host '(cd /path/to/destination/ && tar -xzf -)'
useful tip in my mind
