Can You Briefly Explain The Working Of Scp?

Answer»

SCP stands for Secure Copy. It transfer files over n/w securely. SCP is based on SSH PROTOCOL and it USES the SSH port by default.

WORKING principle:

  1. Client initiates an SSH connection to the remote host, and requests an SCP process to be started on the remote host.
  2. Remote SCP process can operate in TWO modes.

2.1 Source mode

In this mode, SCP on remote host read files from HDD and send them back to the client machine.

2.3 Sink mode

Which accept the files sent by the client and write them to the DISK on the remote host.

Syntax is same as the base Linux copy command.
