scp Command Reference

scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)

Synopsis
scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
[[user@]host1:]file1 […] [[user@]host2:]file2

Description

scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh(1) for data
