18 \S{pscp-manpage-description} DESCRIPTION
20 \cw{pscp} is a command-line client for the SSH-based SCP (secure
21 copy) and SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) protocols.
23 \S{pscp-manpage-options} OPTIONS
25 The command-line options supported by \e{pscp} are:
29 \dd Show version information and exit.
33 \dd Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit,
34 to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
38 \dd Remote directory listing.
42 \dd Preserve file attributes.
46 \dd Quiet, don't show statistics.
50 \dd Copy directories recursively.
54 \dd Allow server-side wildcards (DANGEROUS).
58 \dd Show verbose messages.
60 \dt \cw{-load} \e{session}
62 \dd Load settings from saved session.
66 \dd Connect to port \e{port}.
70 \dd Set remote username to \e{user}.
74 \dd Disable interactive prompts.
76 \dt \cw{-pw} \e{password}
78 \dd Set remote password to \e{password}. \e{CAUTION:} this will likely
79 make the password visible to other users of the local machine (via
80 commands such as \q{\c{w}}).
84 \dd Force use of SSH protocol version 1.
88 \dd Force use of SSH protocol version 2.
92 \dd Enable SSH compression.
96 \dd Private key file for user authentication.
98 \dt \cw{\-hostkey} \e{key}
100 \dd Specify an acceptable host public key. This option may be specified
101 multiple times; each key can be either a fingerprint (\cw{99:aa:bb:...}) or
102 a base64-encoded blob in OpenSSH's one-line format.
104 \lcont{ Specifying this option overrides automated host key
105 management; \e{only} the key(s) specified on the command-line will be
106 accepted (unless a saved session also overrides host keys, in which
107 case those will be added to), and the host key cache will not be
112 \dd Force use of SCP protocol.
116 \dd Force use of SFTP protocol.
