    No.

    No, and multiple connections would not increase speed anyway.

    Resumption would be an implementation feature of the scp program.

        JA> 5) what underlying protocols does scp rely on?

    scp uses an undocumented protocol which is essentially rcp. It has no
    security features itself, but is run over an SSH connection for security
    (i.e. scp actually runs the "ssh" program to connect to the remote side.
