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.

	      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 com-
	      mands such as `w').

       -1     Force use of SSH protocol version 1.

       -2     Force use of SSH protocol version 2.

       -C     Enable SSH compression.

       -sftp  Force use of SFTP protocol.
