1.7 aaron 40: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.3 aaron 41: .Nm
1.6 aaron 42: copies files between hosts on a network.
43: It uses
1.3 aaron 44: .Xr ssh 1
1.1 deraadt 45: for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the
46: same security as
1.3 aaron 47: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.1 deraadt 48: Unlike
1.3 aaron 49: .Xr rcp 1 ,
50: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 51: will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for
52: authentication.
1.3 aaron 53: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 54: Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate
1.6 aaron 55: that the file is to be copied to/from that host.
56: Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.
1.3 aaron 57: .Pp
58: The options are as follows:
59: .Bl -tag -width Ds
60: .It Fl c Ar cipher
1.6 aaron 61: Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer.
62: This option is directly passed to
1.3 aaron 63: .Xr ssh 1 .
64: .It Fl i Ar identity_file
1.1 deraadt 65: Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA
1.6 aaron 66: authentication is read.
67: This option is directly passed to
1.3 aaron 68: .Xr ssh 1 .
69: .It Fl p
1.1 deraadt 70: Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
71: original file.
1.3 aaron 72: .It Fl r
1.1 deraadt 73: Recursively copy entire directories.
1.3 aaron 74: .It Fl v
1.6 aaron 75: Verbose mode.
76: Causes
1.3 aaron 77: .Nm
1.7 aaron 78: and
1.3 aaron 79: .Xr ssh 1
1.6 aaron 80: to print debugging messages about their progress.
81: This is helpful in
1.1 deraadt 82: debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems.
1.3 aaron 83: .It Fl B
1.1 deraadt 84: Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
1.3 aaron 85: .It Fl q
1.2 aaron 86: Disables the progress meter.
1.3 aaron 87: .It Fl C
1.6 aaron 88: Compression enable.
89: Passes the
1.3 aaron 90: .Fl C
91: flag to
92: .Xr ssh 1
1.1 deraadt 93: to enable compression.
1.4 markus 94: .It Fl P Ar port
1.6 aaron 95: Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host.
96: Note that this option is written with a capital
1.3 aaron 97: .Sq P ,
98: because
99: .Fl p
100: is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in
101: .Xr rcp 1 .
1.10 ! deraadt 102: .It Fl S Ar program
! 103: Name of
! 104: .Ar program
! 105: to use for the encrypted connection. The program must understand
1.9 deraadt 106: .Xr ssh 1
107: options.
1.5 markus 108: .It Fl 4
109: Forces
110: .Nm
111: to use IPv4 addresses only.
112: .It Fl 6
113: Forces
