SCP(1) General Commands Manual SCP(1)
NAME
scp M-bM-^@M-^S OpenSSH secure file copy
SYNOPSIS
scp [-346ABCpqrTv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-J destination] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
source ... target
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). scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed
for authentication.
The source and target may be specified as a local pathname, a remote host
with optional path in the form [user@]host:[path], or a URI in the form
scp://[user@]host[:port][/path]. Local file names can be made explicit
using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid scp treating file names
containing M-bM-^@M-^X:M-bM-^@M-^Y as host specifiers.
When copying between two remote hosts, if the URI format is used, a port
may only be specified on the target if the -3 option is used.
The options are as follows:
-3 Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local
host. Without this option the data is copied directly between
the two remote hosts. Note that this option disables the
progress meter and selects batch mode for the second host, since
scp cannot ask for passwords or passphrases for both hosts.
-4 Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.
-A Allows forwarding of ssh-agent(1) to the remote system. The
default is not to forward an authentication agent.
-B Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or
passphrases).
-C Compression enable. Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable
compression.
-c cipher
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This
option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-F ssh_config
Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh.
This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-i identity_file
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public
key authentication is read. This option is directly passed to
ssh(1).
-J destination
Connect to the target host by first making an scp connection to
the jump host described by destination and then establishing a
TCP forwarding to the ultimate destination from there. Multiple
jump hops may be specified separated by comma characters. This
is a shortcut to specify a ProxyJump configuration directive.
This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-l limit
Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
-o ssh_option
Can be used to pass options to ssh 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
Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Note that
this option is written with a capital M-bM-^@M-^XPM-bM-^@M-^Y, because -p is already
reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file.
-p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
original file.
-q Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and
diagnostic messages from ssh(1).
-r Recursively copy entire directories. Note that scp follows
symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
-S program
Name of program to use for the encrypted connection. The program
must understand ssh(1) options.
-T Disable strict filename checking. By default when copying files
from a remote host to a local directory scp checks that the
received filenames match those requested on the command-line to
prevent the remote end from sending unexpected or unwanted files.
Because of differences in how various operating systems and
shells interpret filename wildcards, these checks may cause
wanted files to be rejected. This option disables these checks
at the expense of fully trusting that the server will not send
unexpected filenames.
-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.
EXIT STATUS
The scp utility exitsM-BM- 0 on success, andM-BM- >0 if an error occurs.
