SCP

Secure Copy Protocol

A network protocol that is used to securely transfer files between computers. It is similar to FTP, but uses a secure encrypted connection to transfer files, which makes it more secure than FTP.

SCP is commonly used to transfer files between servers, as well as to securely transfer sensitive data, such as financial or personal information. It is supported by many operating systems and is often used in conjunction with other protocols, such as SSH and SFTP, to provide secure remote access and file transfer capabilities.

To use SCP, you will need to use a command line tool, such as the scp command on Linux or macOS, or a third-party SCP client. You will also need to specify the source and destination files and the hostname or IP address of the computer you are transferring the files to or from.

Overall, SCP is a useful tool for securely transferring files between computers and servers, and is widely used by businesses and organizations to transfer sensitive data and manage their networks.
