Apologies if this is a n00b question, but I'm unfamiliar with the differences between sftp and scp.

Does ssh2 support scp currently? If not, do you plan to?

I do not currently have any plans to add SCP protocol support to this module because compared to SFTP, SCP:

  • isn't defined by any RFC
  • isn't as efficient
  • has a very limited feature set
  • can be fragile

Also many times you'll find that the 'scp' command available on various systems will actually use SFTP underneath instead.

Thanks, that's very informative. We'll probably opt to go for sftp in pkgcloud: pkgcloud/pkgcloud#76

@indexzero I am doing it the sftp way, the interface is pretty simple: lepture/node-scp2

It is on the very early stage, actually, I just started it today. The upload to server part works well now.
