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