NAME

       pscp - command-line SCP (secure copy) / SFTP client

SYNOPSIS

       pscp [options] [user@]host:source target
       pscp [options] source [source...] [user@]host:target
       pscp [options] -ls [user@]host:filespec

DESCRIPTION

       pscp  is  a  command-line client for the SSH-based SCP (secure copy) and SFTP (secure file
       transfer protocol) protocols.

OPTIONS

       The command-line options supported by pscp are:

       -V     Show version information and exit.

       -pgpfp Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit, to aid in verifying
              new files released by the PuTTY team.

       -ls    Remote directory listing.

       -p     Preserve file attributes.

       -q     Quiet, don't show statistics.

       -r     Copy directories recursively.

       -unsafe
              Allow server-side wildcards (DANGEROUS).

       -v     Show verbose messages.

       -load session
              Load settings from saved session.

       -P port
              Connect to port port.

       -proxycmd command
              Instead of making a TCP connection, use command as a proxy; network traffic will be
              redirected to the standard input and output of command. command must  be  a  single
              word, so is likely to need quoting by the shell.

              The special strings %host and %port in command will be replaced by the hostname and
              port number you want to connect to; to get a literal % sign, enter %%.

              Backslash escapes are also supported, such as sequences like \n being replaced by a
              literal  newline;  to  get  a literal backslash, enter \\. (Further escaping may be
              required by the shell.)

              (See the main PuTTY manual for full details of  the  supported  %-  and  backslash-
              delimited  tokens,  although  most  of  them  are  probably not very useful in this
              context.)

       -l user
              Set remote username to user.

       -batch Disable interactive prompts.

       -no-sanitise-stderr
              By default, PSCP will filter control characters from  the  standard  error  channel
              from  the  server,  to prevent remote processes sending confusing escape sequences.
              This option forces the standard error channel to not be filtered.

       -pw password
              Set remote password to password.  CAUTION:  this  will  likely  make  the  password
              visible to other users of the local machine (via commands such as `w').

       -1     Force use of SSH protocol version 1.

       -2     Force use of SSH protocol version 2.

       -4, -6 Force use of IPv4 or IPv6 for network connections.

       -C     Enable SSH compression.

       -i keyfile
              Private  key file for user authentication. For SSH-2 keys, this key file must be in
              PuTTY's PPK format, not OpenSSH's format or anyone else's.

              If you are using an authentication agent, you can also specify a  public  key  here
              (in RFC 4716 or OpenSSH format), to identify which of the agent's keys to use.

       -noagent
              Don't try to use an authentication agent.

       -agent Allow  use of an authentication agent. (This option is only necessary to override a
              setting in a saved session.)

       -hostkey key
              Specify an acceptable host public key. This option may be specified multiple times;
              each  key  can  be  either a fingerprint (99:aa:bb:...) or a base64-encoded blob in
              OpenSSH's one-line format.

              Specifying this option overrides automated host key  management;  only  the  key(s)
              specified  on  the  command-line  will  be  accepted  (unless  a saved session also
              overrides host keys, in which case those will be added to), and the host key  cache
              will not be written.

       -scp   Force use of SCP protocol.

       -sftp  Force use of SFTP protocol.

       -sshlog logfile

       -sshrawlog logfile
              These  options  make  pscp  log  protocol  details to a file. (Some of these may be
              sensitive, although by default an effort is made to suppress obvious passwords.)

              -sshlog logs decoded SSH packets and other events  (those  that  -v  would  print).
              -sshrawlog additionally logs the raw encrypted packet data.

MORE INFORMATION

       For  more information on pscp it's probably best to go and look at the manual on the PuTTY
       web page:
