1.7 aaron 45: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.3 aaron 46: .Nm
1.6 aaron 47: copies files between hosts on a network.
48: It uses
1.3 aaron 49: .Xr ssh 1
1.1 deraadt 50: for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the
51: same security as
1.3 aaron 52: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.1 deraadt 53: Unlike
1.3 aaron 54: .Xr rcp 1 ,
55: .Nm
1.1 deraadt 56: will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for
57: authentication.
1.3 aaron 58: .Pp
1.1 deraadt 59: Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate
1.6 aaron 60: that the file is to be copied to/from that host.
61: Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.
1.3 aaron 62: .Pp
63: The options are as follows:
64: .Bl -tag -width Ds
1.28.2.1! brad 65: .It Fl 1
! 66: Forces
1.3 aaron 67: .Nm
1.28.2.1! brad 68: to use protocol 1.
! 69: .It Fl 2

! 71: .Nm
! 72: to use protocol 2.
! 73: .It Fl 4
! 74: Forces
! 75: .Nm
! 76: to use IPv4 addresses only.
! 77: .It Fl 6
! 78: Forces
! 79: .Nm
! 80: to use IPv6 addresses only.
1.3 aaron 81: .It Fl B
1.1 deraadt 82: Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
1.3 aaron 83: .It Fl C
1.6 aaron 84: Compression enable.
85: Passes the
1.3 aaron 86: .Fl C
87: flag to
88: .Xr ssh 1
1.1 deraadt 89: to enable compression.
1.28.2.1! brad 90: .It Fl c Ar cipher
! 91: Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer.
! 92: This option is directly passed to
! 93: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.19 stevesk 94: .It Fl F Ar ssh_config
95: Specifies an alternative
96: per-user configuration file for
97: .Nm ssh .
98: This option is directly passed to
99: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.28.2.1! brad 100: .It Fl i Ar identity_file
! 101: Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA
! 102: authentication is read.
! 103: This option is directly passed to
! 104: .Xr ssh 1 .
! 105: .It Fl l Ar limit
! 106: Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
! 107: .It Fl o Ar ssh_option
! 108: Can be used to pass options to
! 109: .Nm ssh
! 110: in the format used in
! 111: .Xr ssh_config 5 .
! 112: This is useful for specifying options
! 113: for which there is no separate
! 114: .Nm scp
! 115: command-line flag.
! 116: For full details of the options listed below, and their possible values, see

1.4 markus 162: .It Fl P Ar port
1.6 aaron 163: Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host.
164: Note that this option is written with a capital
1.3 aaron 165: .Sq P ,
166: because

168: is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in
169: .Xr rcp 1 .
1.28.2.1! brad 170: .It Fl p
! 171: Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
! 172: original file.
! 173: .It Fl q
! 174: Disables the progress meter.
! 175: .It Fl r
! 176: Recursively copy entire directories.
1.10 deraadt 177: .It Fl S Ar program
178: Name of
179: .Ar program
1.12 aaron 180: to use for the encrypted connection.
181: The program must understand
