One good alternative I've used is socketpipe[0]. It handles logging into the remote server, setting up a listener, and then piping the data over.
But, that tunnel still isn't encrypted. So, either encrypt your data first, or setup some vpn tunnel. The inefficiency of scp isn't just due to the encryption, there's overhead in the ssh protocol.

- devonkim 12y agoA VPN setup seems like overkill. You can run stunnel and run a daemon to loop back through the stunnel configured connection. It's not quite as easy to use offhand like scp, but it's certainly not as awkward to try to use as a random series of OpenSSL commands either and it'll be easier to understand what you tried to do later on the production machine.
