Does anyone have an easy(lazy) suggestion on the client side for copying multiple/selected files between machines using scp or sftp?

I know I can use the commands at the cli but does emelfm or one of the utilities that ship with dsl have the ability to use ssh? I know newer versions of mc (midnight commander) can do it.

I know I could use gtk & gftp but I was hoping I could find a solution with just the basic dsl cd.

Thanks in advance for ideas, apologies if it is a question with an obvious answer.

Although I've never used mc for ftp, I'm pretty sure it will work.

I didn't want to use ftp, I wanted to move the files securely.

phh, can you use the mget command in sftp? That would let you download multiple files at a time. So rather than using get 15 times to get 15 files, you'd type mget *.tar.gz

It's still using the cli.

Mget sounds better. Thanks for the suggestion.
