SCP stands for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy "Secure Copy"]. Like SFTP it uses the SSH protocol to encrypt data being transferred. It does not support synchronization like [[Globus]] or [[Transferring_data#Rsync|rsync]]. Some examples of SCP use are shown [http://www.hypexr.org/linux_scp_help.php here].

{{Command
|scp foo.txt username@beluga.computecanada.ca:work/
}}
which will copy the file foo.txt from the current directory on my local computer to the directory <tt>$HOME/work</tt> on the cluster [[Béluga]]. To copy a file, <tt>output.dat</tt> from my project space on the cluster [[Cedar]] to my local computer I can use a command like
{{Command
|scp username@cedar.computecanada.ca:projects/def-jdoe/username/results/output.dat .
}}
Many other examples of the use of SCP are shown [http://www.hypexr.org/linux_scp_help.php here].
