                     51: .B Scp
                     52: copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses
                     53: .B ssh
                     54: for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the
                     55: same security as
                     56: .B ssh.
                     57: Unlike
                     58: .BR rcp ",
                     59: .B ssh
                     60: will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for
                     61: authentication.
                     62: .LP
                     63: Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate
                     64: that the file is to be copied to/from that host.  Copies between two
                     65: remote hosts are permitted.
