   scp? Never
used it. How portable is it to different platforms? I don't know how portable a
protocol specification is. ;-)
But there are implementations at least for Unix (like) OSes and M$Win.
The problem with scp is that it makes heavy use of crypto algorithms
that you usually find in quite heavyweight crypto libs.
I don't want to implement this on a PDP-11. ;-(

	I can add NeXTStep 3.3 and Mac OS 8.6 (and OS X) and Solaris 
to the list of SCP-capable platforms from personal experience. I 
assume there are more. Most implementations of SCP that I've seen 
come bundled with SSH, which does Telnet-like duties in an encrypted 
way as far as I can see.
	If anyone needs pointers to any of the above software, ping 
me and I'll dig them up.
