I have a directory /tmp/foo on my local host alpha.org and I wish to
transfer it to user Bob (/home/bob) in dirctory $HOME/www/bar on
remote host beta.org. How precisely can I do this 1) using scp 2)
using rsync? I would like to see the commands for doing this with both
methods. Ssh is running on both hosts.
Also what happens if the directory already existed on the remote host
and has some of the same file names. Is it possible to use md5sums so
that if a file is exact (same hash) it will prompt me and ask if I
want to over-write it before it does?

If you prefer scp you can make a tar archive of contents first:
tar -cvvf package.tar.gz /tmp/foo
and transfer it to beta.org:
scp package.tar.gz bob@beta.org:/home/bob/www/bar
In beta.org:
cd /home/bob/www/bar ; tar xvzf package.tar.gz ; rm package.tar.gz
Issuing this command on alpha.org will synchronize content of /tmp/foo
to /home/bob/www/bar in beta.org:
rsync -a /tmp/foo bob@beta.org:/home/bob/www/bar
Scp will overwrite your files if beta.org has same filesnames in that
directory.

'rsync -a' or 'scp -pr' . Trailing slashes may be very meaningful with
rsync. e.g. the following two have different results:

If you want that, use rsync .
rsync is generally nicer than scp.

Yes to both!
