SSH and SCP⚑

SSH stands for Secure Shell while SCP stands for Secure Copt where both commands allow one to interact between machines using the shell.

SCP⚑

SCP is used a lot in deployments to legacy, on-prem servers allowing one to transfer application code files onto the server in a secure fashion. For example the program on Windows WinSCP utilizes SCP protocols to setup a secure connection between the local client and remote server and transfers files using SCP commands.

SCP is also helpful when dealing with Virtual Machines and Cloud Hosted Environments.
