Any plans for SCP support?

Post by sllimr7139 » Fri 17 Feb 2012 04:16

The SFTP support works great, but I have a couple of servers that don't have SFTP installed. SCP support would be fantastic.

Do you have any plans to implement SCP?

Thanks,

Ryan.

In present time we don't plan to support SCP protocol, because it is considered obsolete and significantly less functional than SFTP protocol.

Hello!

SCP is less functional, but lots of existent(old) hardware have only this protocol. :cry:
Have anybody an idea/solution how to use SHH-Client for SCP?
This protocol is old, but we need it for a lot of installations.

I have found a non-SecureBridge solution. Look for some SFTP code from Zeljko Marjanovic. As a part of his code, uMySFTPClient.pas, he has a TSCPClient component.

I hope to someday make a SB component based on this code so that I don't have to have multiple SSH2 libs in a single EXE.

I agree: SCP support in SecureBridge would be great and really useful, especially for network equipments and servers where SFTP has been disabled!

Thank you in advance

@Devart Devellopers: Why do you think this protocol is obsolet? All my linux servers support ssh and scp, and none of them support SFTP. All the administration is handeled by ssh and scp .

I want to programm an administration tool. scp is the only file transport all the servers know.

@sllimr7139: thx for the tipp. An now i am also stuck with two ssh libs.

So, i have to correct myself. I always had a wrong definition from SFTP.
SFTP <> FTPS !

SFTP is not an FTP server with activated SSL. This would be FTPS.
SFTP is like SCP provided by the SSH Server. And my Linux Servers are able to provide SFTP Filetransfer.


For the people who are confused by the protocol name like me, and are looking for scp:
Try if your server is providing sftp. This is part of OpenSSH.

Now i understand Dimons answer "scp is obsolet". This is because SCP is obsolet and SFTP is like "SCP 2.0" .
So don't make my mistake. SFTP is not FTPS .

I hope someone could learn from my mistakes. :)
