.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.B mscp
|
||||
copies files over multiple SSH (SFTP) connections by multiple
|
||||
threads. It enables transferring (1) multiple files simultaneously and
|
||||
(2) a large file in parallel, reducing the transfer time for a lot
|
||||
of/large files over networks.
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The usage of
|
||||
.B mscp
|
||||
imitates the
|
||||
.B scp
|
||||
command of
|
||||
.I OpenSSH,
|
||||
for example:
|
||||
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
$ mscp srcfile user@example.com:dstfile
|
||||
.fi
|
||||
|
||||
Remote hosts only need to run standard
|
||||
.B sshd
|
||||
supporting the SFTP subsystem, and users need to be able to
|
||||
.B ssh
|
||||
to the hosts as usual.
|
||||
.B mscp
|
||||
does not require anything else.
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.B mscp
|
||||
uses
|
||||
.UR https://\:www\:.libssh\:.org
|
||||
libssh
|
||||
.UE
|
||||
as its SSH implementation. Thus, supported SSH features, for example,
|
||||
authentication, encryption, and various options in ssh_config, follow
|
||||
what
|
||||
.I libssh
|
||||
supports.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-n \fINR_CONNECTIONS\fR
|
||||
Specifies the number of SSH connections. The default value is
|
||||
calculated from the number of CPU cores on the host with the following
|
||||
formula: floor(log(nr_cores)*2)+1.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-m \fICOREMASK\fR
|
||||
Configures CPU cores to be used by the hexadecimal bitmask. All CPU
|
||||
cores are used by default.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-u \fIMAX_STARTUPS\fR
|
||||
Specifies the number of concurrent outgoing SSH connections.
|
||||
.B sshd
|
||||
limits the number of simultaneous SSH connection attempts by
|
||||
.I MaxStartups
|
||||
in
|
||||
.I sshd_config.
|
||||
The default
|
||||
.I MaxStartups
|
||||
is 10; thus, we set the default MAX_STARTUPS 8.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-I \fIINTERVAL\fR
|
||||
Specifies the interval (in seconds) between SSH connection
|
||||
attempts. Some firewall products treat SSH connection attempts from a
|
||||
single source IP address for a short period as a brute force attack.
|
||||
This option inserts intervals between the attempts to avoid being
|
||||
determined as an attack. The default value is 0.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-s \fIMIN_CHUNK_SIZE\fR
|
||||
Specifies the minimum chunk size.
|
||||
.B mscp
|
||||
divides a file into chunks and copies the chunks in parallel.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-S \fIMAX_CHUNK_SIZE\fR
|
||||
Specifies the maximum chunk size. The default is file size divided by
|
||||
the number of connections.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-a \fINR_AHEAD\fR
|
||||
Specifies the number of inflight SFTP commands. The default value is
|
||||
32.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-b \fIBUF_SIZE\fR
|
||||
Specifies the buffer size for I/O and transfer over SFTP. The default
|
||||
value is 16384. Note that the SSH specification restricts buffer size
|
||||
delivered over SSH. Changing this value is not recommended at present.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-v
|
||||
Increments the verbose output level.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-q
|
||||
Quiet mode: turns off all outputs.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-D
|
||||
Dry-run mode: it scans source files to be copied, calculates chunks,
|
||||
and resolves destination file paths. Dry-run mode with
|
||||
.B -vv
|
||||
option enables confirming files to be copied and their destination
|
||||
paths.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-r
|
||||
No effect.
|
||||
.B mscp
|
||||
copies recursively if a source path is a directory. This option exists
|
||||
for just compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-l \fILOGIN_NAME\fR
|
||||
Specifies the username to log in on the remote machine as with
|
||||
.I ssh(1).
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-p,\-P \fIPORT\fR
|
||||
Specifies the port number to connect to on the remote machine as with
|
||||
ssh(1) and scp(1).
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-F \fICONFIG\fR
|
||||
Specifies an alternative per-user ssh configuration file. Note that
|
||||
acceptable options in the configuration file are what
|
||||
.I libssh
|
||||
supports.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-i \fIIDENTITY\fR
|
||||
Specifies the identity file for public key authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-c \fICIPHER\fR
|
||||
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. See
|
||||
.UR https://\:www\:.libssh\:.org/\:features/
|
||||
libssh features
|
||||
.UE .
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-M \fIHMAC\fR
|
||||
Specifies MAC hash algorithms. See
|
||||
.UR https://\:www\:.libssh\:.org/\:features/
|
||||
libssh features
|
||||
.UE .
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-C \fICOMPRESS\fR
|
||||
Enables compression: yes, no, zlib, zlib@openssh.com. The default is
|
||||
none. See
|
||||
.UR https://\:www\:.libssh\:.org/\:features/
|
||||
libssh features
|

.TP
|
||||
.B \-H
|
||||
Disables hostkey checking.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-d
|
||||
Increments the ssh debug output level.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-N
|
||||
Enables Nagle's algorithm. It is disabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-h
|
||||
Prints help.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH EXIT STATUS
|
||||
Exit status is 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH NOTES
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.B mscp
|
||||
uses glob(3) for globbing pathnames, including matching patterns for
|
||||
local and remote paths. However, globbing on the
|
||||
.I remote
|
||||
side does not work with musl libc (used in Alpine Linux and the
|
||||
single-binary version of mscp) because musl libc does not support
|
||||
GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC.
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.B mscp
|
||||
does not support remote-to-remote copy, which
|
||||
.B scp
|
||||
supports.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH EXAMPLES
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Copy a local file to a remote host with different name:
|
||||
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
$ mscp ~/src-file 10.0.0.1:copied-file
|
||||
.fi
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Copy a local file and a directory to /tmp at a remote host:
|
||||
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
$ mscp ~/src-file dir1 10.0.0.1:/tmp
|
||||
.fi
|
||||
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
In a long fat network, following options might improve performance:
|
||||
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
$ mscp -n 64 -m 0xffff -a 64 -c aes128-gcm@openssh.com src 10.0.0.1:
|
||||
.fi
|
||||
|
||||
.B -n
|
||||
increases the number of SSH connections than default,
|
||||
.B -m
|
||||
pins threads to specific CPU cores,
|
||||
.B -a
|
||||
increases asynchronous inflight SFTP WRITE/READ commands, and
|
||||
.B -c aes128-gcm@openssh.com
|
||||
will be faster than the default chacha20-poly1305 cipher, particularly
|
||||
on hosts that support AES-NI.

DESCRIPTION
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
**mscp** copies files over multiple SSH (SFTP) connections by multiple
|
||||
threads. It enables transferring (1) multiple files simultaneously and
|
||||
(2) a large file in parallel, reducing the transfer time for a lot
|
||||
of/large files over networks.
|
||||
|
||||
The usage of **mscp** imitates the **scp** command of *OpenSSH,* for
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ mscp srcfile user@example.com:dstfile
|
||||
|
||||
Remote hosts only need to run standard **sshd** supporting the SFTP
|
||||
subsystem, and users need to be able to **ssh** to the hosts as usual.
|
||||
**mscp** does not require anything else.
|
||||
|
||||
**mscp** uses `libssh <https://www.libssh.org>`__ as its SSH
|
||||
implementation. Thus, supported SSH features, for example,
|
||||
authentication, encryption, and various options in ssh_config, follow
|
||||
what *libssh* supports.
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
**-n NR_CONNECTIONS**
|
||||
Specifies the number of SSH connections. The default value is
|
||||
calculated from the number of CPU cores on the host with the
|
||||
following formula: floor(log(nr_cores)*2)+1.
|
||||
|
||||
**-m COREMASK**
|
||||
Configures CPU cores to be used by the hexadecimal bitmask. All CPU
|
||||
cores are used by default.
|
||||
|
||||
**-u MAX_STARTUPS**
|
||||
Specifies the number of concurrent outgoing SSH connections. **sshd**
|
||||
limits the number of simultaneous SSH connection attempts by
|
||||
*MaxStartups* in *sshd_config.* The default *MaxStartups* is 10;
|
||||
thus, we set the default MAX_STARTUPS 8.
|
||||
|
||||
**-I INTERVAL**
|
||||
Specifies the interval (in seconds) between SSH connection attempts.
|
||||
Some firewall products treat SSH connection attempts from a single
|
||||
source IP address for a short period as a brute force attack. This
|
||||
option inserts intervals between the attempts to avoid being
|
||||
determined as an attack. The default value is 0.
|
||||
|
||||
**-s MIN_CHUNK_SIZE**
|
||||
Specifies the minimum chunk size. **mscp** divides a file into chunks
|
||||
and copies the chunks in parallel.
|
||||
|
||||
**-S MAX_CHUNK_SIZE**
|
||||
Specifies the maximum chunk size. The default is file size divided by
|
||||
the number of connections.
|
||||
|
||||
**-a NR_AHEAD**
|
||||
Specifies the number of inflight SFTP commands. The default value is
|
||||
32.
|
||||
|
||||
**-b BUF_SIZE**
|
||||
Specifies the buffer size for I/O and transfer over SFTP. The default
|
||||
value is 16384. Note that the SSH specification restricts buffer size
|
||||
delivered over SSH. Changing this value is not recommended at
|
||||
present.
|
||||
|
||||
**-v**
|
||||
Increments the verbose output level.
|
||||
|
||||
**-q**
|
||||
Quiet mode: turns off all outputs.
|
||||
|
||||
**-D**
|
||||
Dry-run mode: it scans source files to be copied, calculates chunks,
|
||||
and resolves destination file paths. Dry-run mode with **-vv** option
|
||||
enables confirming files to be copied and their destination paths.
|
||||
|
||||
**-r**
|
||||
No effect. **mscp** copies recursively if a source path is a
|
||||
directory. This option exists for just compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
**-l LOGIN_NAME**
|
||||
Specifies the username to log in on the remote machine as with
|
||||
*ssh(1).*
|
||||
|
||||
**-p,-P PORT**
|
||||
Specifies the port number to connect to on the remote machine as with
|
||||
ssh(1) and scp(1).
|
||||
|
||||
**-F CONFIG**
|
||||
Specifies an alternative per-user ssh configuration file. Note that
|
||||
acceptable options in the configuration file are what *libssh*
|
||||
supports.
|
||||
|
||||
**-i IDENTITY**
|
||||
Specifies the identity file for public key authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
**-c CIPHER**
|
||||
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. See
|
||||
`libssh features <https://www.libssh.org/features/>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
**-M HMAC**
|
||||
Specifies MAC hash algorithms. See `libssh
|
||||
features <https://www.libssh.org/features/>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
**-C COMPRESS**
|
||||
Enables compression: yes, no, zlib, zlib@openssh.com. The default is
|
||||
none. See `libssh features <https://www.libssh.org/features/>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
**-H**
|
||||
Disables hostkey checking.
|
||||
|
||||
**-d**
|
||||
Increments the ssh debug output level.
|
||||
|
||||
**-N**
|
||||
Enables Nagle's algorithm. It is disabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
**-h**
|
||||
Prints help.
|
||||
|
||||
EXIT STATUS
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Exit status is 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTES
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
**mscp** uses glob(3) for globbing pathnames, including matching
|
||||
patterns for local and remote paths. However, globbing on the *remote*
|
||||
side does not work with musl libc (used in Alpine Linux and the
|
||||
single-binary version of mscp) because musl libc does not support
|
||||
GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC.
|
||||
|
||||
**mscp** does not support remote-to-remote copy, which **scp** supports.
|
||||
|
||||
EXAMPLES
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
Copy a local file to a remote host with different name:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ mscp ~/src-file 10.0.0.1:copied-file
|
||||
|
||||
Copy a local file and a directory to /tmp at a remote host:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ mscp ~/src-file dir1 10.0.0.1:/tmp
|
||||
|
||||
In a long fat network, following options might improve performance:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ mscp -n 64 -m 0xffff -a 64 -c aes128-gcm@openssh.com src 10.0.0.1:
|
||||
|
||||
**-n** increases the number of SSH connections than default, **-m** pins
|
||||
threads to specific CPU cores, **-a** increases asynchronous inflight
|
||||
SFTP WRITE/READ commands, and **-c aes128-gcm@openssh.com** will be
|
||||
faster than the default chacha20-poly1305 cipher, particularly on hosts
|
||||
that support AES-NI.

||||
