SCP(1) OpenBSD Reference Manual SCP(1)
NAME
scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)
SYNOPSIS
scp [-pqrvC] [-P port] [-c cipher] [-i identity_file]
[[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2
DESCRIPTION
scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh(1) for data
transfer, and uses the same authentication 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.
The options are as follows:
-c cipher
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This
option is directly passed to ssh(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).
-p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
original file.
-r Recursively copy entire directories.
-v Verbose mode. Causes scp and ssh(1) to print debugging messages
about their progress. This is helpful in debugging connection,
authentication, and configuration problems.
-B Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphras-
es).
-q Disables the progress meter.
-C Compression enable. Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable com-
pression.
-P port
Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Note 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).
