Damien Miller | 32aa144 | 1999-10-29 09:15:49 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | .Nm |
Damien Miller | 450a7a1 | 2000-03-26 13:04:51 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 44 | copies files between hosts on a network. |
| 45 | It uses |
Damien Miller | 32aa144 | 1999-10-29 09:15:49 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 46 | .Xr ssh 1 |
| 47 | for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the |
| 48 | same security as |
| 49 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
| 50 | Unlike |
| 51 | .Xr rcp 1 , |
| 52 | .Nm |
| 53 | will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for |
| 54 | authentication. |
| 55 | .Pp |
| 56 | Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate |
Damien Miller | 450a7a1 | 2000-03-26 13:04:51 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 57 | that the file is to be copied to/from that host. |
| 58 | Copies between two remote hosts are permitted. |
Damien Miller | 32aa144 | 1999-10-29 09:15:49 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 59 | .Pp |
| 60 | The options are as follows: |
| 61 | .Bl -tag -width Ds |
| 62 | .It Fl c Ar cipher |
Damien Miller | 450a7a1 | 2000-03-26 13:04:51 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 63 | Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. |
| 64 | This option is directly passed to |
Damien Miller | 32aa144 | 1999-10-29 09:15:49 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 65 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
| 66 | .It Fl i Ar identity_file |
| 67 | Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA |
Damien Miller | 450a7a1 | 2000-03-26 13:04:51 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 68 | authentication is read. |
| 69 | This option is directly passed to |
Damien Miller | 32aa144 | 1999-10-29 09:15:49 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 70 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
| 71 | .It Fl p |
| 72 | Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the |
| 73 | original file. |
| 74 | .It Fl r |
| 75 | Recursively copy entire directories. |
| 76 | .It Fl v |
Damien Miller | 450a7a1 | 2000-03-26 13:04:51 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | Verbose mode. |

Damien Miller | 450a7a1 | 2000-03-26 13:04:51 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 82 | to print debugging messages about their progress. |
| 83 | This is helpful in |
Damien Miller | 32aa144 | 1999-10-29 09:15:49 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 84 | debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems. |
| 85 | .It Fl B |

Damien Miller | 450a7a1 | 2000-03-26 13:04:51 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 90 | Compression enable. |

Ben Lindstrom | 1e24324 | 2001-09-18 05:38:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 96 | .It Fl F Ar ssh_config |
| 97 | Specifies an alternative |
| 98 | per-user configuration file for |

| 100 | This option is directly passed to |

Damien Miller | 450a7a1 | 2000-03-26 13:04:51 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 103 | Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. |
| 104 | Note that this option is written with a capital |
Damien Miller | 32aa144 | 1999-10-29 09:15:49 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 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 . |
