f54651ce | 39 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
bf740959 | 40 | .Nm |
4fe2af09 | 41 | copies files between hosts on a network. |
42 | It uses | |
bf740959 | 43 | .Xr ssh 1 |
44 | for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the | |
45 | same security as | |
46 | .Xr ssh 1 . | |
47 | Unlike | |
48 | .Xr rcp 1 , | |
49 | .Nm | |
50 | will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for | |
51 | authentication. | |
52 | .Pp | |
53 | Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate | |
4fe2af09 | 54 | that the file is to be copied to/from that host. |
55 | Copies between two remote hosts are permitted. | |
bf740959 | 56 | .Pp |
57 | The options are as follows: | |
58 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
59 | .It Fl c Ar cipher | |
4fe2af09 | 60 | Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. |
61 | This option is directly passed to | |
bf740959 | 62 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
63 | .It Fl i Ar identity_file | |
64 | Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA | |
4fe2af09 | 65 | authentication is read. |
66 | This option is directly passed to | |
bf740959 | 67 | .Xr ssh 1 . |
68 | .It Fl p | |
69 | Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the | |
70 | original file. | |
71 | .It Fl r | |
72 | Recursively copy entire directories. | |
73 | .It Fl v | |
4fe2af09 | 74 | Verbose mode. |
75 | Causes | |
bf740959 | 76 | .Nm |
f54651ce | 77 | and |
bf740959 | 78 | .Xr ssh 1 |
4fe2af09 | 79 | to print debugging messages about their progress. |
80 | This is helpful in | |
bf740959 | 81 | debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems. |
82 | .It Fl B | |
83 | Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases). | |
84 | .It Fl q | |
85 | Disables the progress meter. | |
86 | .It Fl C | |
4fe2af09 | 87 | Compression enable. |
88 | Passes the | |
bf740959 | 89 | .Fl C |
90 | flag to | |
91 | .Xr ssh 1 | |
92 | to enable compression. | |
93 | .It Fl P Ar port | |
4fe2af09 | 94 | Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. |
95 | Note that this option is written with a capital | |
bf740959 | 96 | .Sq P , |
97 | because | |
98 | .Fl p | |
99 | is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in | |
100 | .Xr rcp 1 . | |
48e671d5 | 101 | .It Fl 4 |
