(PSCP's interface is much like the Unix \c{scp} command, if you're
familiar with that.)
\c pscp [options] source [source...] [user@]host:target
-So to copy the local file \c{c:\\documents\\csh-whynot.txt} to the
-server \c{example.com} as user \c{fred} to the file
-\c{/tmp/csh-whynot} you would type:
+So to copy the local file \c{c:\\documents\\foo.txt} to the server
+\c{example.com} as user \c{fred} to the file \c{/tmp/foo} you would
+type:
-\c pscp c:\documents\csh-whynot.txt fred@example.com:/tmp/csh-whynot
+\c pscp c:\documents\foo.txt fred@example.com:/tmp/foo
You can use wildcards to transfer multiple files in either
direction, like this:
\c pscp fred@example.com:source/*.c c:\source
However, in the second case (using a wildcard for multiple remote
-files) you may see a warning like this:
-
-\c warning: remote host tried to write to a file called 'terminal.c'
-\c when we requested a file called '*.c'.
-\c If this is a wildcard, consider upgrading to SSH 2 or using
-\c the '-unsafe' option. Renaming of this file has been disallowed.

This is due to a fundamental insecurity in the old-style SCP
protocol: the client sends the wildcard string (\c{*.c}) to the
By default, PSCP displays a meter displaying the progress of the
current transfer:
-\c mibs.tar | 168 kB | 84.0 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:13 | 13%

(in kilobytes) of file transferred so far, estimate of how fast the
