If you don't want to use netcat (perhaps you still want encryption),
maybe try something like this:

$ <local-file-name ssh -e none remote-host "cat > remote-file-name"

If won't preserve the timestamps and such, but you'll get it there, and
encrypted, too.  If you're on 100Mbit or greater, you can likely speed
up the transfer by using "-c blowfish" (blowfish is much faster to
compute than 3DES).  Also, you may have to play around with the quoting
and such to get it to work.
