This one goes without saying. Veeam’s Fast SCP is another file copy tool, but designed specifically to SCP or securely copy files, and do it very fast.

According to information from Veeam team, FastSCP does not use SCP for ESX servers. They say secure protocol is used for management channel only, while all the data is transmitted without encryption over proprietary protocol. It is the only way to provide really fast file tranfers. FastSCP is very useful product, yes, but don't let “SCP” in the name fool you. Data is transmitted WITHOUT encryption.
