💖 LCP(1) — the manual, but make it slay 💖

secure remote file copy — ok bestie, gather round, this one's actually iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

lcp — secure remote file copy 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lcp [-fvn] [[user@]host1:]file1 [[user@]host2:]file2

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so lcp is that girl 💅 — she securely copies files between two hosts on a network. She's literally the glow-up replacement for rcp(1), no cap. And the plot twist? Both the source and the destination can be on remote machines. Both. Remote. She's giving main character energy fr fr ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Here's the menu, bestie — every single one, don't skip:

  • --help — show a lil summary of all the options 🫶
  • -f, --force — overwrite files that already exist. ruthless. iconic. 💅
  • -v, --version — display commands before they are executed 👀 (yes the flag name says version, the vibe is "let me narrate what I'm doing", just go with it)
  • -n, --dry-run — don't execute any commands at all, just look 👀✨. Heads up: this one implies -v, so you get the narration for free.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • LSFTP_RSH — the program to use for the SSH tunnel 🧚. If this variable isn't set, lcp defaults to using lsh. That's the fallback, periodt.

🐛 REPORTING BUGS 🐛

Found a bug? Not the vibe, but okay — report it to <bug-lsh@gnu.org> 💌. They'll handle it.
