pigz does parallel compression, taking advantage of multiple cores. I am not really sure if you can achieve this with scp.

- reidrac 12y agoYou can use pigz with SSH as you can pipe commands over SSH (google it). If nc is faster than scp, I guess encryption is a factor, but then they're not comparable solutions to the same problem.
- gpsarakis 12y agoSure you can :). Naturally transfers via SSH "suffer" from the encryption overhead but prevent MITM/network sniffing etc. The author points out that (only) in a trusted LAN you could use this solution to make things go faster. I guess the title should be a little more mild - scp isn't going away, or rsync via SSH for that matter.
