| 39 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
| 40 | .Nm |
| 41 | copies files between hosts on a network. It uses |
| 42 | .Xr ssh 1 |
| 43 | for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the |
| 44 | same security as |
| 45 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
| 46 | Unlike |
| 47 | .Xr rcp 1 , |
| 48 | .Nm |
| 49 | will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for |
| 50 | authentication. |
| 51 | .Pp |
| 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. |
| 55 | .Pp |
| 56 | The options are as follows: |
| 57 | .Bl -tag -width Ds |
| 58 | .It Fl c Ar cipher |
| 59 | Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This |
| 60 | option is directly passed to |
| 61 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
| 62 | .It Fl i Ar identity_file |
| 63 | Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA |
| 64 | authentication is read. This option is directly passed to |
| 65 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
| 66 | .It Fl p |
| 67 | Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the |
| 68 | original file. |
| 69 | .It Fl r |
| 70 | Recursively copy entire directories. |
| 71 | .It Fl v |
| 72 | Verbose mode. Causes |
| 73 | .Nm |
| 74 | and |
| 75 | .Xr ssh 1 |
| 76 | to print debugging messages about their progress. This is helpful in |
| 77 | debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems. |
| 78 | .It Fl B |
| 79 | Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases). |
| 80 | .It Fl q |
| 81 | Disables the progress meter. |
| 82 | .It Fl C |
| 83 | Compression enable. Passes the |
| 84 | .Fl C |
| 85 | flag to |
| 86 | .Xr ssh 1 |
| 87 | to enable compression. |
| 88 | .It Fl P Ar port |
| 89 | Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Note that this |
| 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 |
| 95 | .Xr rcp 1 . |
