SCP2

SCP2.EXE is a Windows port of the UNIX Secure Copy 2 tool (scp2).

SCP2 is used to securely copy files over the network. The program uses the ssh2 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/from that host. Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.

SCP2 uses the same host keys and user keys as the graphical SSH Secure Shell Windows 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. (Please note that PKI and PKCS #11 support is available only in commercial distributions of the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations client.)

Please note that SCP2 offers no fallback to the ssh1 protocol.
