1.7 aaron 44: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.3 aaron 45: .Nm
1.6 aaron 46: copies files between hosts on a network.
47: It uses
1.3 aaron 48: .Xr ssh 1
1.1 deraadt 49: for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the
50: same security as
1.3 aaron 51: .Xr ssh 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
1.44 jmc 56: File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate
1.6 aaron 57: that the file is to be copied to/from that host.
1.44 jmc 58: Local file names can be made explicit using absolute or relative pathnames
59: to avoid
60: .Nm
61: treating file names containing
62: .Sq :\&
63: as host specifiers.
64: Copies between two remote hosts are also permitted.
1.3 aaron 65: .Pp
66: The options are as follows:
67: .Bl -tag -width Ds
1.29 jmc 68: .It Fl 1
69: Forces
70: .Nm
71: to use protocol 1.
72: .It Fl 2
73: Forces
74: .Nm
75: to use protocol 2.
1.55 markus 76: .It Fl 3
77: Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local host.
78: Without this option the data is copied directly between the two remote
79: hosts.
1.56 jmc 80: Note that this option disables the progress meter.
1.29 jmc 81: .It Fl 4
82: Forces
83: .Nm
84: to use IPv4 addresses only.
85: .It Fl 6
86: Forces
1.3 aaron 87: .Nm
1.29 jmc 88: to use IPv6 addresses only.
1.3 aaron 89: .It Fl B
1.1 deraadt 90: Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
1.3 aaron 91: .It Fl C
1.6 aaron 92: Compression enable.
93: Passes the
1.3 aaron 94: .Fl C
95: flag to
96: .Xr ssh 1
1.1 deraadt 97: to enable compression.
1.29 jmc 98: .It Fl c Ar cipher
99: Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer.
100: This option is directly passed to
101: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.19 stevesk 102: .It Fl F Ar ssh_config
103: Specifies an alternative
104: per-user configuration file for
105: .Nm ssh .
106: This option is directly passed to
107: .Xr ssh 1 .
1.29 jmc 108: .It Fl i Ar identity_file
1.46 djm 109: Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key
1.29 jmc 110: authentication is read.
111: This option is directly passed to
112: .Xr ssh 1 .
113: .It Fl l Ar limit
114: Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
115: .It Fl o Ar ssh_option
116: Can be used to pass options to
117: .Nm ssh
118: in the format used in
119: .Xr ssh_config 5 .
120: This is useful for specifying options
121: for which there is no separate
122: .Nm scp
123: command-line flag.
124: For full details of the options listed below, and their possible values, see

190: because
191: .Fl p
1.62 tedu 192: is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file.
