I'd agree that uni-directional transfer is an edge case when you have only one server.

Unfortunately for network security, that seems less and less the case these days. I definitely find myself ssh'd into two remote systems relatively often and have a need to copy files between the two. (Swapping arguments to scp is not good enough.)

Doing so, you expose yourself in propagating penetration from a compromised server to a previously secure one.
