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