SCP

Explanation:
The scp command copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh for data
transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh. Unlike rcp, scp
will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication. Any file name may
contain a host and user specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host.
Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.
