[SCP] is an [Acronym] for "__S__ecure __C__o__p__y", a file transfer [Protocol] used by scp(1). scp(1) is designed to be a secure replacement without the weaknesses of rcp(1). The latter 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. which was well known to be insecure. In contrast, scp(1) uses a [SSH] tunnel. This also allows you to use an authorized_keys file (see [SSHKeys]) -- which is ''more'' convenient than rcp(1) ''and'' more secure. What else could you want?
