\S{pscp-usage-options} Options
PSCP accepts all the general command line options supported by the
PuTTY tools, except the ones which make no sense in a file transfer
utility. See \k{using-general-opts} for a description of these
options. (The ones not supported by PSCP are clearly marked.)
PSCP also supports some of its own options. The following sections
describe PSCP's specific command-line options.
These are the command line options that PSCP accepts.

their contents. This allows you to use PSCP to transfer whole
directory structures between machines.
\S2{pscp-usage-options-v}\c{-v} show \i{verbose} messages
The \c{-v} option to PSCP makes it print extra information about the
file transfer. For example:
\c Logging in as "fred".
\c fred@example.com's password:
\c Sending command: scp -v -f mibs.tar
\c Connected to example.com
\c Sending file modes: C0644 1320960 mibs.tar
\c mibs.tar | 1290 kB | 67.9 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%
\c Remote exit status 0
\c Closing connection
This information may be useful for debugging problems with PSCP.
\S2{pscp-usage-options-P}\c{-P port} connect to specified \i{port}
If the \c{host} you specify is a saved session, PSCP uses any port
number specified in that saved session. If not, PSCP uses the default
SSH port, 22. The \c{-P} option allows you specify the port number to
connect to for PSCP's SSH connection.
\S2{pscp-usage-options-pw}\c{-pw passw} login with specified \i{password}
If a password is required to connect to the \c{host}, PSCP will
interactively prompt you for it. However, this may not always be
appropriate. If you are running PSCP as part of some automated job,
it will not be possible to enter a password by hand. The \c{-pw}
option to PSCP lets you specify the password to use on the command
line.
Since specifying passwords in scripts is a bad idea for security
reasons, you might want instead to consider using public-key
authentication; see \k{pscp-pubkey}.
\S2{pscp-usage-options-batch}\c{-batch} avoid interactive prompts
If you use the \c{-batch} option, PSCP will never give an
