Replacement:
scpโrsyncorsftpegrep-->grep -Efgrep-->grep -Fnetstat-->ssarp-->ip nroute-->ip routeiptunnel-->ip tunnelnameif-->ip linkifconfig-->ipiwconfig-->iwiptables-->nftablesrsync is cool but is nowhere a replacement for scp's main use case. scp actually uses your SSH client settings file, whereas rsync doesn't (it does have the opportunity to use a SSH command, which you then have to setup separately).
I'm not sure I get what you mean. In every distro I used so far rsync did use ssh by default so it would honor everything I set in the ssh config.
Not everything however. For it to catch some options , for example SOCKS bridges, you have to use the SSH passthrough notation aka
rsync -e 'ssh bridgename...' --rsync-options.... And ofc if you have to load a different SSH conffile, you have to use the while passthrough for that as well, there's no rsync native option to load a SSH conffile:rsync -e 'ssh -F conffile ssh_options...' --rsync-options....I am guilty of using scp. Glad to see that there is a reimplementation going on.
netstat got Nazi ๐ฎ /s
Seriously who thought that
ssis a good command name.Ich think it's perfekt.
I don't even want to know where this "rail car" is going ๐ซ

And if you really want the
iptablesUX,iptables-nftis also an option (at least on Debian). While I preferfirewalldmost of the time on a server, my boss really wants to stick with the same tools he's used for 20yr; soiptables-nftit is.
