.SH NAME
scp \- secure copy (remote file copy program)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBscp\fR [\fB-pqrvBC46\fR] [\fB-F\fR \fIssh_config\fR] [\fB-S\fR \fIprogram\fR] [\fB-P\fR \fIport\fR]

.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBscp\fR utility copies files between hosts on a network. It uses
\fBssh\fR(1) for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides
the same security as \fBssh\fR(1). Unlike \fBrcp\fR(1), \fBscp\fR will ask for
passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.
.sp
.LP
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.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-4\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt

.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-6\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Forces \fBscp\fR to use IPv6 addresses only.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-B\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Selects batch mode. (Prevents asking for passwords or passphrases.)
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-c\fR \fIcipher\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This option is
directly passed to \fBssh\fR(1).
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-C\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Compression enable. Passes the \fB-C\fR flag to \fBssh\fR(1) to enable
compression.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-F\fR \fIssh_config\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for \fBssh\fR(1.).
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-i\fR \fIidentity_file\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for \fBRSA\fR
authentication is read. This option is directly passed to \fBssh\fR(1).
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-o\fR \fIssh_option\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
The given option is directly passed to \fBssh\fR(1).
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-p\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-P\fR \fIport\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Notice that this option is
written with a capital `P', because \fB-p\fR is already reserved for preserving
the times and modes of the file in \fBrcp\fR(1).
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-q\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Disables the progress meter.

.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-v\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
Verbose mode. Causes \fBscp\fR and \fBssh\fR(1) to print debugging messages
about their progress. This is helpful in debugging connection, authentication,
and configuration problems.

.ad
.RS 20n
.rt
The file(s) to be copied.

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
Generally, use of \fBscp\fR with password or keyboard-interactive
authentication method and two remote hosts does not work. It does work with
either the \fBpubkey\fR, \fBhostbased\fR or \fBgssapi-keyex\fR authentication
method. For the \fBpubkey\fR authentication method, either private keys not
protected by a passphrase, or an explicit \fBssh\fR agent forwarding have to
be used. The \fBgssapi-keyex\fR authentication method works with the
\fBkerberos_v5\fR GSS-API mechanism, but only if the
\fBGSSAPIDelegateCredentials\fR option is enabled.
