scp can be used for any file, yes - what do you mean by anywhere?
Once you get used to ssh, you should really look into rsync for copying
file trees between machines:
$ rsync -SHPaxv /localdir/ root@userbox:/remotedir/
It makes a perfect copy, every time, with a minimum of network bandwidth
used (sliding checksums at the block level for changed files).

Glad to hear it. Thought that might fix it. Now you have 3d hardware
accelleration as well :)

To find what processes are using a mountpoint, use fuser or lsof:
$ fuser -avm /mountpoint
or
$ lsof -n | grep /mountpoint
