# mscp
[![build on ubuntu](https://github.com/upa/mscp/actions/workflows/build-ubuntu.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/upa/mscp/actions/workflows/build-ubuntu.yml) [![build on macOS](https://github.com/upa/mscp/actions/workflows/build-macos.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/upa/mscp/actions/workflows/build-macos.yml) [![test](https://github.com/upa/mscp/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/upa/mscp/actions/workflows/test.yml)
`mscp`, a variant of `scp`, copies files over multiple ssh (SFTP)
connections. Multiple threads and connections in mscp transfer (1)
multiple files simultaneously and (2) a large file in parallel. It
would shorten the waiting time for transferring a lot of/large files
over networks.
You can use `mscp` like `scp`, for example, `mscp
user@example.com:srcfile /tmp/dstfile`. Remote hosts only need to run
standard `sshd` supporting the SFTP subsystem (e.g. openssh-server),
and you need to be able to ssh to the hosts as usual. `mscp` does not
require anything else.
Differences from `scp` on usage:
- remote glob on remote shell expansion is not supported.
- remote to remote copy is not supported.
- `-r` option is not needed.
- and any other differences I have not implemented and noticed.
## Install
- homebrew
```console
brew install upa/tap/mscp
```
- Linux
Download a package for your environment from [Releases
page](https://github.com/upa/mscp/releases).
## Build
mscp depends on a patched [libssh](https://www.libssh.org/). The
patch introduces asynchronous SFTP Write, which is derived from
https://github.com/limes-datentechnik-gmbh/libssh (see [Re: SFTP Write
async](https://archive.libssh.org/libssh/2020-06/0000004.html)).
Currently macOS and Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, Rocky) are supported.
```console
# 1. clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/upa/mscp.git
cd mscp
# 2. prepare patched libssh
git submodule update --init
patch -d libssh -p1 < patch/libssh-0.10.4.patch
# 3. install build dependency
bash ./scripts/install-build-deps.sh
# 4. configure mscp
mkdir build && mv build
cmake ..
## in macOS, you may need OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR for cmake:
cmake .. -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=$(brew --prefix)/opt/openssl@1.1
# build
make
# install the mscp binary to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/bin (usually /usr/local/bin)
make install
```
## Run
- Usage
```console
$ mscp
mscp v0.0.4: copy files over multiple ssh connections
Usage: mscp [vqDCHdh] [-n nr_conns] [-m coremask]
[-s min_chunk_sz] [-S max_chunk_sz] [-a nr_ahead]
[-l login_name] [-p port] [-i identity_file]
[-c cipher_spec] source ... target
```
- Example: copy a 15GB file on memory over a 100Gbps link
- Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 machines directly connected with Intel E810 100Gbps NICs.
- Default `openssh-server` runs on the remote host.
```console
$ mscp /var/ram/test.img 10.0.0.1:/var/ram/
[=====================================================] 100% 15GB/15GB 1.9GB/s
# with some optimizations. top speed reaches 2.9GB/s.
$ mscp -n 8 -m 0xff -a 32 -c aes128-gcm@openssh.com /var/ram/test.img 10.0.0.1:/var/ram/
[=====================================================] 100% 15GB/15GB 2.2GB/s
```
- `-v` option increments verbose output level.
```console
$ mscp test 10.0.0.1:
[=====================================================] 100% 13B/13B 2.41KB/s
$ mscp -v test 10.0.0.1:

copy start: test/test.txt
