40 Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This
41 option is directly passed to ssh(1).

119
120 -q Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and
121 diagnostic messages from ssh(1).
122
123 -r Recursively copy entire directories. Note that scp follows sym-
124 bolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
125
126 -S program
127 Name of program to use for the encrypted connection. The program
128 must understand ssh(1) options.
