+.Sh DESCRIPTION 
+.Nm
+copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses
+.Xr ssh 1
+for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the
+same security as
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+Unlike
+.Xr rcp 1 ,
+.Nm
+will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for
+authentication.
+.Pp
+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.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl c Ar cipher
+Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer.  This
+option is directly passed to
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl i Ar identity_file
+Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA
+authentication is read.  This option is directly passed to
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl p
+Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
+original file.
+.It Fl r
+Recursively copy entire directories.
+.It Fl v
+Verbose mode.  Causes
+.Nm
+and 
+.Xr ssh 1
+to print debugging messages about their progress.  This is helpful in
+debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems.
+.It Fl B
+Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
+.It Fl q
+Disables the progress meter.
+.It Fl C
+Compression enable.  Passes the
+.Fl C
+flag to
+.Xr ssh 1
+to enable compression.
+.It Fl P Ar port
+Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host.  Note that this
+option is written with a capital
+.Sq P ,
+because
+.Fl p
+is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in
+.Xr rcp 1 .

+.Sh HISTORY
+.Nm
+is based on the

+California.
