Then switch to use sth more like scp ASAP? :-)

Nah, it's probably more efficient to .tar.xz it and use netcat.

On a more serious note, I use sftp for everything, and git for actual big (but still personal) projects, but then move files and execute scripts manually.

And also, I cloned my old Laptops /dev/sda3 to my new Laptops /dev/main/root (on /dev/mapper/cryptlvm) via netcat over a Gigabit connection with netcat. It worked flawlessly. I love Linux and its Philosophy.

Ooh I've never heard of it. netcat I mean, cause I've heard of Linux 😆.

The File Transfer Protocol is just very antiquated, while scp is simple. Possibly netcat is too:-).

Netcat is basically just a utility to listen on a socket, or connect to one, and send or receive arbitrary data. And as, in Linux, everything is a file, which means you can handle every part of your system (eg. block devices [physical or virtual disks]) like a normal file, i.e. text, you can just transfer a block device (e.g. /dev/sda3) over raw sockets.
