Fwd: scp encryption

Hi Lisa,

Does scp always encrypt the data that is being copied or does one of the
configuration options turn encryption on/off?   If encryption is off by
default, can it be overridden on the command?

From the man page of scp :
"scp copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses ssh(1) for data
     transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security
     as ssh(1).  Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if
     they are needed for authentication."

Since scp use ssh for authentication and data transfer, data will
always be encrypted.

Have a nice day.
