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.

       -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:
