Fugu does include scp, but it appears to be purely as a file copy mechanism,
not a directory browser. That's useful, but not quite what I'm looking for.
Unless I'm mistaken, that's all scp is. Secure copy. It doesn't do browsing,
only copying from one location to another.
I was always under the impression that sftp is more related to ssh than ftp.
Obviously you can have ssh without ftp (and vice-versa), but can you have ssh
without sftp and scp?
As I just read on The Internets:
cat LOCALFILE | ssh REMOTEHOST cat \>REMOTEFILE
ssh REMOTEHOST cat REMOTEFILE >LOCALFILE
Both replicate scp functionality without using scp. So its pointless to not
have scp if you have ssh. I always thought sftp was the same way but I could
be wrong. In other words, if ssh is turned on, are you sure you can't use
sftp?
Like I said, I could be wrong about this. Either way, I'm interested to hear
the answer.
