SCP Recursive Flag

Hi,

While working with some coworkers recently we noticed a strange inconsistency 
between cp and scp, that caused us some confusion. For the cp tool a -r or -R 
will do a recursive copy of directories, but for scp only -r will. The -R flag 
for scp is gives illegal option. What is the reasoning behind this?

Thanks,
Colton
