And this leads to the question.. OpenBSD is famous for removing unwanted or outdated code. What makes scp a special case? Is it too used to be deprecated and removed?
- djmdjm 8y agoyeah, pretty much. If someone implemented scp's command-line with sftp underneath then we could start the (slow) deprecation process.
- throwaway2048 8y agoits part of the ssh protocol, getting rid of cruft from network protocols is almost completely impossible unfortunately, because its going to destroy many people's workflows, in a way that they can not fix, guaranteed. Yes, we all know about xkcd, no need to link guys.
- djmdjm 8y agoscp isn't part of the ssh protocol. It's a command that runs over it.
- Operyl 8y agoOut of curiosity, since I wasn't sure which one in particular throwaway2048 was talking about, here are my closest guesses: 927 - Standards - https://xkcd.com/927/ https://xkcd.com/927/ 1127 - Workflow - https://xkcd.com/1172/ https://xkcd.com/1172/ 1323 - Protocol - https://xkcd.com/1323/ https://xkcd.com/1323/
