Feature Request : scp front end

Afaik, there is no GUI front end for scp -- or I don't know how to look 
for one. Would it be possible to have such a thing?

I'm thinking, given an established ssh connection between two machines, 
it would sometimes be a lot easier to drag and drop files than for 
arthritic eyeballs and trifocal fingers to type out long character-
perfect strings for scp -- something like what I do, for instance, when I 
download pix to my home directory, and them move them into the directory 
I want them in.

If this could be done, it would sure make life easier for some of us -- 
especially when we have to do a fresh install on one or more machines ...
