Four Great Uses of the Secure Copy Command - buildVirtual
scp stands for Secure Copy. It is a command-line utility for securely transferring files between computers using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. scp is similar to the cp command, which is used to copy files and directories within a single system, but scp can be used to transfer files between systems over a network.
The scp command was designed to be a secure alternative to the rcp command, which was used in the early days of the internet to transfer files between computers. The rcp command had several security vulnerabilities, including the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the remote system, which made it prone to abuse. The scp command was developed to address these issues and provide a more secure method for transferring files.
Today, scp is widely used by system administrators, developers, and IT professionals for tasks such as deploying code, managing servers, and backing up data. It is a powerful and essential tool for anyone working with computers and networks.
