RE: SFTP vs SCP

["DeGennaro, Gregory" <Gregory_DeGennaro () csaa com>]

There is really no difference as far as transferring files.  SFTP is a
little easier to use than SCP (secure copy).  I mainly use SFTP over both
the Internet and Intranet.  However, I have used scp over the intranet to
transfer router configs.

I hear many people talking about either SFTP or SCP/  I understand
that both are related to SSH but what are the differences if any
between the two?
