pscp(1) PuTTY tool suite pscp(1) 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; net- work 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 proba- bly 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 stan- dard error channel from the server, to prevent remote processes sending confusing escape sequences. This option forces the stan- dard error channel to not be filtered. -pwfile filename Open the specified file, and use the first line of text read from it as the remote password. -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 `ps' or `w'). Use -pwfile instead. -1 Force use of SSH protocol version 1. -2 Force use of SSH protocol version 2. -ssh-connection Force use of the `bare ssh-connection' protocol. This is only likely to be useful when connecting to a psusan(1) server, most likely with an absolute path to a Unix-domain socket in place of host. -ssh Force use of the SSH protocol. (This is usually not needed; it's only likely to be useful if you need to override some other con- figuration of the `bare ssh-connection' protocol.) -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 nec- essary to override a setting in a saved session.) -no-trivial-auth Disconnect from any SSH server which accepts authentication without ever having asked for any kind of password or signature or token. (You might want to enable this for a server you always expect to challenge you, for instance to ensure you don't acci- dentally type your key file's passphrase into a compromised server spoofing PSCP's passphrase prompt.) -hostkey key Specify an acceptable host public key. This option may be speci- fied multiple times; each key can be either a fingerprint (SHA256:AbCdE..., 99:aa:bb:..., etc) 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. -logoverwrite If PSCP is configured to write to a log file that already ex- ists, discard the existing file. -logappend If PSCP is configured to write to a log file that already ex- ists, append new log data to the existing file. MORE INFORMATION For more information on pscp it's probably best to go and look at the manual on the PuTTY web page: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ BUGS This man page isn't terribly complete.
