I wasn't suggesting they need to know what scp is. It could all be
hidden under some filesystem(like sshfs) so when they plug it in all
they get is a new drive letter under windows. Of course it would require
getting that support but it would work probably way better than any of
the other solutions.

Or samba as an option? That would be effective as well if not scp :)

But basically I think and believe the best and easiest interop system would be
networked.

I've setup sshfs for regular users(this would be much easier with usbnet
and predefined stuff) and nobody ever notices anything odd about it :)
