scp2
scp2.exe is a Windows port of the Unix scp2 tool.
scp2 (Secure Copy 2) is used to securely copy files over the
network. The program uses the Secure Shell version 2 protocol for data
transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same
security as ssh2. scp2 will ask for passwords or
passphrases if they are needed for authentication.
Any file name may contain a host, user and port specification to
indicate that the file is to be copied to or from that host. Copies between
two remote hosts are permitted.
scp2 uses the same host keys and user keys as the graphical
client. The default location for these files is the directory used to
store the user profile. The -k switch can be used to override
the default location. Certificate authentication can be used in some
configurations with scp2, but scp2 exists for
scripting purposes and certificate usage is not recommended.
On Windows, scp2.exe launches ssh2.exe as a transport. Therefore the
configuration and authentication features of ssh2.exe can be used in
scp2.exe as well.
Also note that scp2 offers no fallback to the Secure Shell
version 1 protocol.
