http://superuser.com/questions/393608/difference-between-scp-and-rsync
Some differences:
1) Performance
scp will be faster
2) Security
scp is more secure, but if you were to use rsync -avz -e ssh, then rsync would be as secure
3) Capability
rsync can 'sync' the two copies, so lets say if your scp stopped in middle of the transfer for some reason (network issue lets say), you could use rsync to complete the transfer. scp will simply overwrite.
alias scpresume="rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh"
rsync can also exclude certain subdirectories/files using the
--exclude
flag, scp can't do that.
