smv¶

Secure move.

This is similar to scp but deletes the file or directory after successful copy.

Always test with the –dry-run/-y option.

Usage

smv [OPTIONS] [FILENAMES]... TARGET

Options

-C¶

Enable compression.

-F, --ssh-config <ssh_config>¶

Path to an alternative ssh_config file. Defaults to ~/.ssh/config if it exists.

-J <DESTINATION>¶

Connect to the target host by first making an SSH connection to one or more jump hosts. Multiple hops are comma-separated. Each entry is [user@]host[:port].

-l <KBIT_PER_SEC>¶

Limit bandwidth used in Kbit/s. Applied per-file.

-P, --port <port>¶

Port.

-d, --debug¶

Enable debug output.

-i, --key <key_filename>¶

Private key file.

-t, --timeout <timeout>¶

Timeout in seconds.

-p¶

Preserves modification times, access times, and file mode bits from the source file.

-y, --dry-run¶

Do not copy anything. Use with -d for testing.

-B¶

Batch mode. Accepted for compatibility; no runtime effect because the underlying SSH library is already non-interactive.

-o <KEY=VALUE>¶

Pass an ssh_config-style option. May be repeated. Supported keys: Compression, ConnectTimeout, HostName, IdentityFile, Port, User. Explicit flags override these; these override -F and ~/.ssh/config.

-q, --quiet¶

Suppress non-error log output.

-v, --verbose¶

Verbose output. Alias for –debug.

--no-ssh-config¶

Do not read ~/.ssh/config or any other ssh_config file.
