I don't appreciate either phoronix or lwn using this clickbait-ey title. The scp command line program isn't going anywhere and (as I understand it) the usual options will remain the same. The news story is about the protocol that runs behind the command.

- lcall 6y agoI use OpenBSD (they are the maintainers of OpenSSH which provides scp), and watch one of its mailing lists, and it seems like they are encouraging disuse of scp for security reasons as mentioned elsewhere here. The Fedora-related discussion here of a new scp that uses sftp underneath, I'm guessing is less likely to make it to OpenBSD soon, for whatever such a rough guess is worth. I made a separate comment suggesting a way to locally replace scp with sftp, as others have also done with rsync (Ctrl-F here for "progress").
