Your link doesn't say it's deprecated... the sftp command has lousy ux, it's unlikely people will switch to it en masse.

    But your cited definition agrees with me? It's not being phased out, hence not being deprecated.

        I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is here.. The above text says there are better protocols and recommends their use over scp, but doesn't say scp is being phased out or discontinued in the future. On *ix things stay around for pretty long. You still have ed and ftp on Ubuntu 20.04!

  rsync has pretty much identical ux to scp and is actively maintained.
