`mscp`, a variant of `scp`, copies files over multiple ssh (sftp)
sessions. Multiple threads in mscp transfer (1) multiple files
simultaneously and (2) a large file in parallel.
simultaneously and (2) a large file in parallel. It may shorten the
waiting time for transferring a lot of/large files over networks.
The usage of mscp is similar to scp, e.g., `mscp example.com:srcfile
/tmp/dstfile`, except remote glob on remote shell expansion and `-r`
is not needed on mscp.
You can use `mscp` like `scp`, e.g., `mscp example.com:srcfile
/tmp/dstfile`. Remote hosts only need to run `sshd` supporting the
SFTP subsystem, and you need to be able to ssh to the hosts (as
usual).
Differences from `scp` are:
- remote glob on remote shell expansion is not supported.
- remote to remote copy is not supported.
- `-r` option is not needed.
- and any other differences I have not noticed and implemented...
