+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
copies files between hosts on a network. It uses
-.B ssh
+.Xr ssh 1
for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the
same security as
-.B ssh.
+.Xr ssh 1 .
Unlike
-.BR rcp ",
-.B ssh
+.Xr rcp 1 ,
+.Nm
will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for
authentication.
-.LP
+.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.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-

-.BI \-c "\ cipher
+.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
-.B ssh.
-.TP
-.BI \-i "\ identity_file
+.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
-.B ssh.
-.TP
-.B \-p
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl p
Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
original file.
-.TP
-.B \-r
+.It Fl r
Recursively copy entire directories.
-.TP
-.B \-v
+.It Fl v
Verbose mode. Causes
-.B scp
+.Nm
and
-.B ssh
+.Xr ssh 1
to print debugging messages about their progress. This is helpful in
debugging connection, authentication, and configuration problems.
-.TP
-.B \-B
+.It Fl B
Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
-.TP
-.B \-q
+.It Fl q
Disables the progress meter.
-.TP
-.B \-C
-Compression enable. Passes the -C flag to
-.B ssh
+.It Fl C
+Compression enable. Passes the
+.Fl C
+flag to
+.Xr ssh 1
to enable compression.
-.TP
-.BI \-P "\ port
+.It Fl p Ar 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.
