Hi Fedora users!
Over the last years, there were several issues in the SCP protocol, which lead
us into discussions if we can get rid of it in upstream [1]. Most of the voices
there said that they use SCP mostly for simple ad-hoc copy and because sftp
utility does not provide simple interface to copy one or couple of files back
and forth and because of people are just used to write scp rather than sftp.
Some months ago, I wrote a patch [2] for scp to use SFTP internally (with
possibility to change it back using -M scp) and ran it through some successful
testing. The general feedback from upstream was also quite positive so I would
like to hear also opinions from our users.

In July there was an article in Fedoramagazine about switching from scp to rsync
as "the OpenSSH project stated that they consider the scp protocol outdated,
inflexible, and not readily fixed".
In fact for the simple use "rsync FILE dest:DIR" instead of "scp FILE dest:DIR"
is easy to do.
I suppose it's time....

P.S. Sorry for the mail Jakub, I did a "reply" instead of "Reply List"
