I have a few observations about this comment.
Generally use whatever works to do the job. Do think about security, so if you end up streaming stuff across the internet using scp really consider your life choices.
In reality, you will probably be copying stuff on or across local nets or across a VPN because port 22 is (of course) unavailable from !RFC1918(etc).
Use the tool for the job and don't pontificate (unless you know best!)
Allow me to introduce you to the Berkeley R-Utilities:

They do the job, quite well.
I suggest that you use them for all your production needs, exclusively!
I for one appreciate this genre of comment. It's these days kinda one of the only things still redeemable on this particular website. I dont have to agree with it or end up using it, but its always good to see.
You get rid of some (wannabe-)greybeard nerd sniping someone's technical blog about an obscure linux util? What would even be left here? Just B2B SaaS AI blah blah forever?
You wan't them to couch this in "great job! Use whatever your comfortable with!" Are we really at that point?
