Install scp command in CentOS

SCP uses the SSH protocol for file transfer in Linux, but I do not have this command for the minimal installation of CentOS 6.3.

[Root @ kashu/] # scp

-Bash: scp: command not found

After installing the openssh-clients package, you can use the SCP command.

[Root @ kashu/] # yum install openssh-clients

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
