What is scp?
scp, short for secure copy, is a command-line utility that allows you to securely transfer files between a local host and a remote host or between two remote hosts. It uses the SSH protocol for data transfer, ensuring that the data is encrypted during transmission, thus protecting it from eavesdropping. scp is commonly used for tasks like uploading website files to a server, backing up data to a remote location, or sharing files between team members.
