### Scp

    public Scp()

Method Detail

### setFile

    public void setFile(java.lang.String aFromUri)

  Sets the file to be transferred. This can either be a remote file or a local file. Remote files take the form:
  user:password@host:/directory/path/file.example
  Files to transfer can also include a wildcard to include all files in a remote directory. For example:
  user:password@host:/directory/path/*

  Parameters:
    `aFromUri` - a string representing the file to transfer.

### setTodir

    public void setTodir(java.lang.String aToUri)

  Sets the location where files will be transferred to. This can either be a remote directory or a local directory. Remote directories take the form of:
  user:password@host:/directory/path/
  This parameter is required.

  Parameters:
    `aToUri` - a string representing the target of the copy.

### setLocalFile

    public void setLocalFile(java.lang.String aFromUri)

  Similiar to `setFile` but explicitly states that the file is a local file. This is the only way to specify a local file with a @ character.

  Parameters:
    `aFromUri` - a string representing the source of the copy.
  Since:
    Ant 1.6.2

### setRemoteFile

    public void setRemoteFile(java.lang.String aFromUri)

  Similiar to `setFile` but explicitly states that the file is a remote file.

  Parameters:
    `aFromUri` - a string representing the source of the copy.
  Since:
    Ant 1.6.2

### setLocalTodir

    public void setLocalTodir(java.lang.String aToUri)

  Similiar to `setTodir` but explicitly states that the directory is a local. This is the only way to specify a local directory with a @ character.

  Parameters:
    `aToUri` - a string representing the target of the copy.
  Since:
    Ant 1.6.2

### setPreservelastmodified

    public void setPreservelastmodified(boolean yesOrNo)

  Sets flag to determine if file timestamp from remote system is to be preserved during copy.

  Since:
    Ant 1.8.0

### setRemoteTodir

    public void setRemoteTodir(java.lang.String aToUri)

  Similiar to `setTodir` but explicitly states that the directory is a remote.

  Parameters:
    `aToUri` - a string representing the target of the copy.
  Since:
    Ant 1.6.2

### setLocalTofile

    public void setLocalTofile(java.lang.String aToUri)

  Changes the file name to the given name while receiving it, only useful if receiving a single file.

  Parameters:
    `aToUri` - a string representing the target of the copy.
  Since:
    Ant 1.6.2

### setRemoteTofile

    public void setRemoteTofile(java.lang.String aToUri)

  Changes the file name to the given name while sending it, only useful if sending a single file.

  Parameters:
    `aToUri` - a string representing the target of the copy.
  Since:
    Ant 1.6.2

### setSftp

    public void setSftp(boolean yesOrNo)

  Setting this to true to use sftp protocol.

  Parameters:
    `yesOrNo` - if true sftp protocol will be used.

### addFileset

    public void addFileset(FileSet set)

  Adds a FileSet transfer to remote host. NOTE: Either addFileSet() or setFile() are required. But, not both.

  Parameters:
    `set` - FileSet to send to remote host.

### init

    public void init()
              throws BuildException

  Initialize this task.

  Overrides:
    `init` in class `SSHBase`
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - on error

### execute

    public void execute()
                 throws BuildException

  Execute this task.

  Overrides:
    `execute` in class `Task`
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - on error
