Have you considered rsync for this task. It can be configured to use ssh and is very good at this kind of thing. If a transfer or copy fails part way through it will workout what it has got left to do and only send that.

eg. rsync -avz --rsh=ssh oracle_at_hosta:/opt/oracle/product/ /opt/oracle/product

Rsync packages & source code can be found at http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/FAQ.html

hope this helps,
