Manual De Scp

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

-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 compression.

-F ssh_config Specifies an alternative per-user confi-

guration file for 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).

User Commands scp(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
