If the file I'm copying already exists on the host device, copy_file will still copy it which takes time.
Describe the solution you'd like
Replace the underlying scp functionality with rsync, which only sends the necessary changes of the files being copied (i.e. if a file already exists, nothing gets sent)
rsync also provides the ability to change a files read/write/execute permissions
rsync is also a drop in replacement to scp meaning that the switch would not affect existing functionality
rsync could replace scp, or alternative functions could be added to support rsync
