Well, yes, rsync to replace scp. Sftp's also regarded a hack anyway imho.

The write-only scp intrigues me. I guess it's not hard to write a program to do that. But, right, that's not easy with standard tools only. The Linux file system was also not designed for that (although it doesn't prohibit such software) I guess.

There's no 'the' Linux file system. There's plenty of file system to choose from.

And, in fact, it would be relatively easy to write a write-only filesystem with FUSE. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace)
