PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X: The AM64x future Linux future SDK documentation & Academy should not use the Linux scp CLI command to do file transfers

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X

Tool/software:

I have noticed much of the SDK documentation & the Linux Academy uses scp for file transfers.

"According to OpenSSH developers in April 2019, SCP is outdated, inflexible and not readily fixed; they recommend the use of more modern protocols like SFTP and rsync for file transfer. As of OpenSSH version 9.0, scp client therefore uses SFTP for file transfers by default instead of the legacy SCP/RCP protocol."

We should use one of the other 2 protocols.

    The development guidelines are biased towards simplicity and development in a deep embedded environment in a private network/LAN. For products your guideline certainly makes sense. We are incrementally refreshing what open source tools we include in the file system, we will note this feedback to move from scp. You are welcome to modify which open source tools you include in the filesystem and use sftp.
