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.

       -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.

       -C     Enable SSH compression.

       -i path
              Private key file for user authentication.

       -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.

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