“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.
Still this was really revolutionary to me when I first heard it. Made a bunch of things just click.

What’s the difference between this and the classic “ssh user@server” ?
we’re fans of internet horror memes and being loud in libraries. so we love scp and hate ssh
😐
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.
Just make the entire filesystem 777. And bypass the ssh warning when id_rsa is too permissible.
By god, imagine the labor savings we’re about to experience
Don’t judge me
