So that convenience ought not to change, except that now the quoting does what you probably expect, because it&amp;#x27;s just a local command and so nothing weird is happening.</text></comment>

It integrates well with ssh on both sides, using ssh channels to execute the binary on the server side and transporting data nicely back and forth.&lt;p&gt;It isn&amp;#x27;t suited for millions of files, but neither is scp.</text></comment>
