     DESCRIPTION
          scp copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses ssh(1)
          for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and
          provides the same security as ssh(1).  Unlike rcp(1), scp
          will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for
          authentication.

          Any file name may contain a host and user specification to
          indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host.
          Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.

          The options are as follows:

          -c cipher
               Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data
               transfer.  This option is directly passed to ssh(1).

          -i identity_file
               Selects the file from which the identity (private key)
               for RSA authentication is read.  This option is
               directly passed to ssh(1).

          -l limit
               Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.

          -p   Preserves modification times, access times, and modes
               from the original file.

          -r   Recursively copy entire directories.

          -v   Verbose mode.  Causes scp and ssh(1) to print debugging
               messages about their progress.  This is helpful in
               debugging connection, authentication, and configuration
               problems.

          -B   Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or
               passphrases).

          -q   Disables the progress meter.

          -C   Compression enable.  Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to
               enable compression.
          -F ssh_config
               Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file
               for ssh.  This option is directly passed to ssh(1).

          -P port
               Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host.
               Note that this option is written with a capital `P',
               because -p is already reserved for preserving the times
               and modes of the file in rcp(1).

          -S program
               Name of program to use for the encrypted connection.
               The program must understand ssh(1) options.

          -o ssh_option
               Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used
               in ssh_config(5).  This is useful for specifying
               options for which there is no separate scp command-line
               flag.

          -1   Forces scp to use protocol 1.

          -2   Forces scp to use protocol 2.

          -4   Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.

          -6   Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          scp exits with 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.

     HISTORY
          scp is based on the rcp(1) program in BSD source code from
