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 - -.TP 0.6i -.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.
