scp file transfer command

scp introduction

scp is the abbreviation of secure copy, which is a command for remote copying files under Linux.

The scp transmission is encrypted, which may affect the speed slightly. In addition, scp is very resource-intensive and will not increase the system load much. In this regard, rsync is far behind it. Although rsync is faster than scp, when there are many small files, rsync will cause very high hard disk I/O, while scp basically does not affect the normal use of the system.
