SCP (Secure Copy Protocol)
A secure method for transferring files between local and remote servers using SSH encryption for data protection.
SCP, or Secure Copy Protocol, is a method for transferring files between your computer and a remote server with encryption. It works similarly to FTP but adds the security of SSH, which keeps your data and credentials safe during transfer. Developers often use SCP to upload website files, deploy updates, or move backups quickly and reliably. SCP is a command-line tool, but once you learn the basics, it becomes a simple and powerful way to manage files securely. SCP's combination of speed and safety makes it a trusted choice for everyday server management.
