“Everything is a file” is what made me start understanding linux few years ago and from there it got easier to use with each new concept.

        In case you were genuinely curious: the above humorous example bypasses very many very good safety precautions and conveniences.
        When you boil everything down, one element stands out: the s in scp stands for ssh, so you are in fact still using ssh, just with several hoops bolted on.

          I was taught in school that security and convenience are diametrically opposed, so if you can find any way of making this less secure/more convenient I’d be happy to deploy it to the entire credit union.
