Migrating from scp to rsync |
 |
The scp secure copy program is a widely used method to transfer files between computers. However, due to some limitations and weaknesses in the scp protocol, the developers have suggested people should migrate to other methods of transferring files, such as the sftp (secure file transfer protocol) and rsync synchronization software. Fedora Magazine has published a guide on how to use rsync along with a comparison of how to perform similar tasks using both scp and rsync. "As part of the 8.0 pre-release announcement, the OpenSSH project stated that they consider the scp protocol outdated, inflexible, and not readily fixed. They then go on to recommend the use of sftp or rsync for file transfer instead. Many users grew up on the scp command, however, and so are not familiar with rsync." Though the guide is published on Fedora Magazine, it should be applicable across any Linux or BSD platform.
