NAME
     scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)

SYNOPSIS
     scp [-pqrvBC46] [-F ssh_config] [-S program] [-P  port]  [-c
     cipher]    [-i    identity_file]    [-o    ssh_option]     [
     [user@]host1:]file1 [...]  [ [user@]host2:]file2

DESCRIPTION
     The scp utility copies files between hosts on a network.  It
     uses ssh(1) for data transfer, and uses the same authentica-
     tion and  provides  the  same  security  as  ssh(1).  Unlike
     rcp(1),  scp  will  ask for passwords or passphrases if they
     are needed for authentication.

     Any file name may contain a host and user  specification  to
     indicate  that  the  file is to be copied to/from that host.
     Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -4                      Forces scp  to  use  IPv4  addresses
                             only.



     -6                      Forces scp  to  use  IPv6  addresses
                             only.



     -B                      Selects batch mode. (Prevents asking
                             for passwords or passphrases.)



     -c cipher               Selects  the  cipher  to   use   for
                             encrypting  the  data transfer. This
                             option is directly passed to ssh(1).



     -C                      Compression enable.  Passes  the  -C
                             flag  to  ssh(1)  to enable compres-
                             sion.



     -F ssh_config           Specifies  an  alternative  per-user
                             configuration file for ssh(1.).

User Commands                                              scp(1)



     -i identity_file        Selects  the  file  from  which  the
                             identity   (private   key)  for  RSA
                             authentication is read. This  option
                             is directly passed to ssh(1).



     -o ssh_option           The given option is directly  passed
                             to ssh(1).



     -p                      Preserves modification times, access
                             times,  and  modes from the original
                             file.



     -P port                 Specifies the port to connect to  on
                             the  remote  host.  Notice that this
                             option is  written  with  a  capital
                             `P',  because -p is already reserved
                             for preserving the times  and  modes
                             of the file in rcp(1).



     -q                      Disables the progress meter.



     -r                      Recursively  copies  entire   direc-
                             tories.



     -S program              Specifies the name of the program to
                             use  for  the  encrypted connection.
                             The program must  understand  ssh(1)
                             options.



     -v                      Verbose mode. Causes scp and  ssh(1)
                             to  print  debugging  messages about
                             their progress. This is  helpful  in
                             debugging   connection,  authentica-
                             tion, and configuration problems.
