What's the difference between SFTP and SCP.

sftp is ftp with ssl.
scp copies a file using ssh.
I use sftp using ssh protocol, and actually I don't even see an ssl sftp connection option in my client.

Right, you mean that sftp ... I got confused between ftps and sftp, sorry.
SFTP has an interactive mode and SCP (AFAIK) does not. Also you can disable SFTP. I don't know about any other differences.
Well. Thanks guys.
Also, scp was implemented as a secure alternative to rcp.
