Overview

The Scp class provides an easy to use client application programming interface for transferring files between a client and SSH (Secure SHell) server using the SCP (secure copy) sub-system.  Classes may be found in the com.jscape.inet.scp package.  In terms of functionality SCP is a lightweight version of the SFTP protocol.  For this reason SCP generally should only be used when connecting to SSH servers that do not have the SFTP sub-system enabled, or where advanced management of remote files is not required.
