Thanks, it works great.
One question. How would I do this if the server I was connecting to had a different port?

Thanks,

Matt.

different port

I'm guessing you already found out but to be exhaustive, if your port is 23, you'd do it with the -P flag like so:
scp -r module.tar.gz -P 23 ben@server.example.org:/var/www/html/drupal7-beta1/modules
Default port 22 is implied.
Not sure if you even need the recursor flag -r for a single tarball.
