SCP(1)				      SSH				SCP(1)

NAME
       scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)

SYNOPSIS
       scp    [-aAqQprvBCL1]   [-S path-to-ssh]	  [-o ssh-options]   [-P port]
       [-c cipher] [-i identity]
	    [[user@]host1:]filename1...	 [[user@]host2:]filename2

DESCRIPTION
       Scp copies files between hosts on a network.   It  uses	ssh  for  data
       transfer,  and uses the same authentication and provides the same secu‐
       rity as ssh.  Unlike rcp, 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
       -a    Turn on statistics display for each file.

       -A    Turn off statistics display for each file.

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

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

       -L    Use  non  privileged  port.  With	this you cannot use rhosts  or
	     rsarhosts authentications, but it can  be	used  to  bypass  some
	     firewalls	that  dont allow privileged source ports to pass. Same
	     as saying "-o UsePriviledgePort=no" or -P to ssh; -L is used  due
	     to exhaustion of suitable letters.

       -1    Force  scp	 to  use  command "scp1" on the remote side instead of
	     "scp".  This may be necessary in some situations, if  the	remote
	     system has "scp2" symlinked to "scp".

       -o ssh-options
	     Ssh options passed to ssh.

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

       -q    Turn off statistics display.

       -Q    Turn on statistics display.

       -r    Recursively copy entire directories.

       -v    Verbose mode.  Causes scp and ssh	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
	     passphrases).

       -C    Compression enable.  Passes the -C flag to ssh to enable compres‐
	     sion.

       -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.

       -S path-to-ssh
	     Specifies the path to ssh program.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       You can turn scp statistics on  or  off	by  setting  SSH_SCP_STATS  or
       SSH_NO_SCP_STATS	 environment  variables. To turn on or off scp statis‐
       tics for each file, use SSH_ALL_SCP_STATS or SSH_NO_ALL_SCP_STATS envi‐
       ronment	variables. The default value of the statistics can be set when
       the ssh is configured. Next the scp checks those environment  variables
       and after that command line options.
