The following options are available:

• -l login_name

  Logs in using this username.

• +a

  Enables authentication agent forwarding.

• -a

  Disables authentication agent forwarding.

• +x

  Enables X11 connection forwarding.

• -x

  Disables X11 connection forwarding.

• -k dir

  Custom configuration dir where ssh2_config, hostkeys and userkeys are located.

• -i file

  Specifies the identification file for public-key authentication. This option ca also be specified in the configuration file.

• -F file

  Reads an alternative configuration file.

• -t

  Tty; allocates a tty even if command is given.

• -v

  Verbose; displays verbose debugging messages. Equivalent to -d 2.

• -d level

  Sets debug level.

• -V

  Displays version string.

• -q

  Quiet; does not display any warning messages.

• -c cipher

  Selects encryption algorithm. Multiple -c options are allowed and a single -c flag can have only one cipher.

• -m MAC

  Selects MAC algorithm. Multiple -m options are allowed and a single -m flag can have only one MAC.

• -p port

  Connects to this port. Server must be on the same port.

• -S

  Does not request a session channel.

• -L listen-port:host:port

  Forwards local port to remote address.

  This causes ssh2 to listen to connections on a port, and forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port.

• -R listen-port:host:port

  Forwards remote port to local address.

  This causes ssh2 to listen to connections on a port, and forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port.

• -g

  Gateways ports, which means that remote hosts may connect to locally forwarded ports. Note the logic of + and - in this option.

• +g

  Does not gateway ports. Listens to tunneling connections originating only from the localhost. Note the logic of + and - in this option.

• +C

  Enables compression.

• -C

  Disables compression.

• -E prov

  Uses prov as the external key provider.

• -I initstr

  Uses initstr as initialization string for the external key provider.

• -o options

  Processes the option as if it was read from a configuration file. The format is -o "ConfigKeyword=value".

• -h

  Displays help.

• -K

  Specifies the identity key file for public-key authentication that is applied first. Multiple -K options are allowed. This option can also be specified in the configuration file.

The command can be either of the following:

• remote_command [arguments] ...

  Runs the command on a remote host.

• -s service

  Enables a service in remote server.
