1.7 aaron 42: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.3 aaron 43: .Nm
1.6 aaron 44: copies files between hosts on a network.
45: It uses
1.3 aaron 46: .Xr ssh 1
1.1 deraadt 47: for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the
48: same security as
1.3 aaron 49: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.1 deraadt 50: Unlike
1.3 aaron 51: .Xr rcp 1 ,
52: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 53: will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for
54: authentication.
1.3 aaron 55: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 56: Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate
1.6 aaron 57: that the file is to be copied to/from that host.
58: Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.
1.3 aaron 59: .Pp
60: The options are as follows:
61: .Bl -tag -width Ds
62: .It Fl c Ar cipher
1.6 aaron 63: Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer.
64: This option is directly passed to
1.3 aaron 65: .Xr ssh 1 .
66: .It Fl i Ar identity_file
1.1 deraadt 67: Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA
1.6 aaron 68: authentication is read.
69: This option is directly passed to
1.3 aaron 70: .Xr ssh 1 .
71: .It Fl p
1.1 deraadt 72: Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
73: original file.
1.3 aaron 74: .It Fl r
1.1 deraadt 75: Recursively copy entire directories.
1.3 aaron 76: .It Fl v
1.6 aaron 77: Verbose mode.
78: Causes
1.3 aaron 79: .Nm
1.7 aaron 80: and
1.3 aaron 81: .Xr ssh 1
1.6 aaron 82: to print debugging messages about their progress.
83: This is helpful in
1.1 deraadt 84: debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems.
1.3 aaron 85: .It Fl B
1.1 deraadt 86: Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
1.3 aaron 87: .It Fl q
1.2 aaron 88: Disables the progress meter.
1.3 aaron 89: .It Fl C
1.6 aaron 90: Compression enable.
91: Passes the
1.3 aaron 92: .Fl C
93: flag to
94: .Xr ssh 1
1.1 deraadt 95: to enable compression.
1.19 stevesk 96: .It Fl F Ar ssh_config
97: Specifies an alternative
98: per-user configuration file for
99: .Nm ssh .
100: This option is directly passed to
101: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.4 markus 102: .It Fl P Ar port
1.6 aaron 103: Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host.
104: Note that this option is written with a capital
1.3 aaron 105: .Sq P ,
106: because
107: .Fl p
108: is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in
109: .Xr rcp 1 .
1.10 deraadt 110: .It Fl S Ar program
111: Name of
112: .Ar program
1.12 aaron 113: to use for the encrypted connection.
114: The program must understand
1.9 deraadt 115: .Xr ssh 1
116: options.
1.17 stevesk 117: .It Fl o Ar ssh_option
118: Can be used to pass options to
119: .Nm ssh
1.21.2.1! jason 120: in the format used in
! 121: .Xr ssh_config 5 .
! 122: This is useful for specifying options
1.17 stevesk 123: for which there is no separate
124: .Nm scp
1.18 deraadt 125: command-line flag. For example, forcing the use of protocol
126: version 1 is specified using
1.17 stevesk 127: .Ic scp -oProtocol=1 .
1.5 markus 128: .It Fl 4
129: Forces
130: .Nm
131: to use IPv4 addresses only.
132: .It Fl 6
133: Forces
134: .Nm
135: to use IPv6 addresses only.
1.8 aaron 136: .El
1.21 markus 137: .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
138: .Nm
139: exits with 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.
