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). scp
will ask for passwords
or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.
File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate
that the file is to be copied to/from that host. Local file names can be
made explicit using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid
scp
treating file names containing ‘:’
as host specifiers. Copies between two remote hosts are also permitted.
The options are as follows:
-1
scp
to use protocol 1.-2
scp
to use protocol 2.-3
-4
scp
to use IPv4 addresses only.-6
scp
to use IPv6 addresses only.-B
-C
-C
flag to
ssh(1) to enable compression.-c
cipher-F
ssh_configssh
. This option is directly passed to
ssh(1).-i
identity_file-l
limit-o
ssh_optionssh
in the format
used in ssh_config(5). This is useful for specifying
options for which there is no separate scp
command-line flag. For full details of the options listed below, and their
possible values, see ssh_config(5).
-P
port-p
is already reserved for preserving the times
and modes of the file.-p
-q
-r
scp
follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.-S
program-v
scp
and
ssh(1) to print debugging messages about their progress.
This is helpful in debugging connection, authentication, and configuration
problems.The scp
utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.

scp
is based on the rcp program in
BSD source code from the Regents of the University
of California.
