Re: The scp protocol

Thanks again. The snail book doesn't have much to say about the
scp protocol itself, other than it is little more than rcp over SSH. It
would seem that there are no written documents for either scp or rcp.

Mostly because there isn't much to say. There's not really a protocol.
It just opens up an rsh | cp across the network and thats about it.

There's going to be 3-4 open-source versions of rcp out there, in
addition to the couple SSH package sources. This is one of those times
where the source documents the protocol.
