I don't have a remote destination currently to try this for real, but as I recall a command like this will do what you want..

scp fsxnet.zip username@some.where.com:/directory/here

scp will overwrite existing files if I remember right, so be careful with that.. you also need write permissions on the target directory.

You may need the -P parameter if your host is on a port other than 22, -P port. If you need to enter a password when you ssh in, you'll be asked for the password, if you login doesn't need it you can script the above (assuming it works).

.... Logic and practical information do not seem to apply here.
