A file transfer [Protocol] and used by the scp(1) utility, which is designed to be a secure replacement for rcp(1) without its weaknesses. rcp(1) uses a completely unencrypted connection which allows anyone on the network to evesdrop on both the credentials as well the contents of files being transferred. In contrast, scp(1) uses a [SSH] tunnel. This also allows you to use an <tt>authorized_keys</tt> file (see [SSHKeys]) – which is ''more'' convenient than rcp(1) ''and'' more secure. What else could you want? |
