| + | The functionality is a replacement for [[&man_ref(1,ssh-copy-id)|OpenSSH ''ssh-copy-id'' script]]. Contrary to the OpenSSH script, it does not require shell interpreter locally. Additionally, it uses SFTP protocol, so it does not rely on a shell access and shell commands on the server. For a compatibility with the script, the ''-i'' switch is understood as an alias to ''/identity''. So, for features supported by WinSCP, you can use the same arguments as for ''ssh-copy-id'', just prefixed with ''/copyid''. | ||
