45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46.Nm
47copies files between hosts on a network.
48It uses
49.Xr ssh 1
50for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the
51same security as
52.Xr ssh 1 .
53Unlike
54.Xr rcp 1 ,
55.Nm
56will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for
57authentication.
58.Pp
59File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate
60that the file is to be copied to/from that host.
61Local file names can be made explicit using absolute or relative pathnames
62to avoid
63.Nm
64treating file names containing
65.Sq :\&
66as host specifiers.
67Copies between two remote hosts are also permitted.
68.Pp
69The options are as follows:
70.Bl -tag -width Ds
71.It Fl 1
72Forces
73.Nm
74to use protocol 1.
75.It Fl 2
76Forces
77.Nm
78to use protocol 2.
79.It Fl 4
80Forces
81.Nm
82to use IPv4 addresses only.
83.It Fl 6
84Forces
85.Nm
86to use IPv6 addresses only.
87.It Fl B
88Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
89.It Fl C
90Compression enable.
91Passes the
92.Fl C
93flag to
94.Xr ssh 1
95to enable compression.
96.It Fl c Ar cipher
97Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer.
98This option is directly passed to
99.Xr ssh 1 .
100.It Fl F Ar ssh_config
101Specifies an alternative
102per-user configuration file for
103.Nm ssh .
104This option is directly passed to
105.Xr ssh 1 .
106.It Fl i Ar identity_file
107Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key
108authentication is read.
109This option is directly passed to
110.Xr ssh 1 .
111.It Fl l Ar limit
112Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
113.It Fl o Ar ssh_option
114Can be used to pass options to
115.Nm ssh
116in the format used in
117.Xr ssh_config 5 .
118This is useful for specifying options
119for which there is no separate
120.Nm scp
121command-line flag.
122For full details of the options listed below, and their possible values, see
123.Xr ssh_config 5 .

174.El
175.It Fl P Ar port
176Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host.
177Note that this option is written with a capital
178.Sq P ,
179because
180.Fl p
181is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in
182.Xr rcp 1 .
183.It Fl p
184Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
185original file.
186.It Fl q
187Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and diagnostic
188messages from
189.Xr ssh 1 .
190.It Fl r
191Recursively copy entire directories.
192Note that
193.Nm
194follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
195.It Fl S Ar program
196Name of
197.Ar program
198to use for the encrypted connection.
199The program must understand
200.Xr ssh 1
201options.
202.It Fl v
203Verbose mode.
204Causes
205.Nm
206and
207.Xr ssh 1
208to print debugging messages about their progress.
209This is helpful in
210debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems.
