Nearly as fast on semi-modern machines. pscp == the windows equivalent for regault *NIXX scp. I have no problems with scp, best part there isn't the mistaken problem of transfer in ASCII mode, when it should be in IMAGE mode (or BINARY mode) or Vice-Versa. We should get rid of TelnetD (The Telnet Daemon) For practical purposes beyond place where there is no option, keep the telnet Client.
