It implements the protocol as used by OpenSSH's scp command, allowing you to upload, download, and recursively transfer directories over an established SSH connection.\n\nThe package is designed for straightforward file operations: you pass it a paramiko transport, call put() or get() with local and remote paths, and optionally supply a progress callback to monitor transfer status. It also supports uploading file-like objects via putfo() and works as a context manager for cleaner resource handling.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a specific problem cleanly\u2014file transfer over SSH without shell escaping or subprocess management. The copyleft license requires attention if you're building proprietary software, but for internal tools, automation, and open-source projects it is a straightforward dependency."},"id":"scp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/scp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/scp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/scp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"scp","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"scp module for paramiko"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":15011039,"position":1205,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.16.1"}
