+NAME
+ scp M-bM-^@M-^S OpenSSH secure file copy
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ scp [-346ABCOpqRrsTv] [-c cipher] [-D sftp_server_path] [-F ssh_config]
+ [-i identity_file] [-J destination] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option]
+ [-P port] [-S program] [-X sftp_option] source ... target
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ scp copies files between hosts on a network.
+
+ scp uses the SFTP protocol over a ssh(1) connection for data transfer,
+ and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as a
+ login session.
+
+ 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
+ cannot be specified on the target if the -R 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, when using the legacy SCP
+ protocol (via the -O flag), this option selects batch mode for
+ the second host as scp cannot ask for passwords or passphrases
+ for both hosts. This mode is the default.
+
+ -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).
+
+ -D sftp_server_path
+ Connect directly to a local SFTP server program rather than a
+ remote one via ssh(1). This option may be useful in debugging
+ the client and server.
+
+ -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 Use the legacy SCP protocol for file transfers instead of the
+ SFTP protocol. Forcing the use of the SCP protocol may be
+ necessary for servers that do not implement SFTP, for backwards-
+ compatibility for particular filename wildcard patterns and for
+ expanding paths with a M-bM-^@M-^X~M-bM-^@M-^Y prefix for older SFTP servers.
+
+ -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 mode bits of the file.
+
+ -p Preserves modification times, access times, and file mode bits
+ from the source file.
+
+ -q Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and
+ diagnostic messages from ssh(1).
+
+ -R Copies between two remote hosts are performed by connecting to
+ the origin host and executing scp there. This requires that scp
+ running on the origin host can authenticate to the destination
+ host without requiring a password.
+
+ -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.
+
+ -X sftp_option
+ Specify an option that controls aspects of SFTP protocol
+ behaviour. The valid options are:
+
+ nrequests=value
+ Controls how many concurrent SFTP read or write requests
+ may be in progress at any point in time during a download
+ or upload. By default 64 requests may be active
+ concurrently.
+
+ buffer=value
+ Controls the maximum buffer size for a single SFTP
+ read/write operation used during download or upload. By
+ default a 32KB buffer is used.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+ The scp utility exitsM-BM- 0 on success, andM-BM- >0 if an error occurs.

+
+HISTORY
+ scp is based on the rcp program in BSD source code from the Regents of
+ the University of California.
+
+ Since OpenSSH 9.0, scp has used the SFTP protocol for transfers by
+ default.

+
+CAVEATS
+ The legacy SCP protocol (selected by the -O flag) requires execution of
+ the remote user's shell to perform glob(3) pattern matching. This
+ requires careful quoting of any characters that have special meaning to
+ the remote shell, such as quote characters.
