source file.

using an efficient data-streaming protocol. Reading the source files, transferring the
data from the source to destination system (or systems), and replacing the destination
files is parallelized and proceeds at maximum throughput.

destination file is owned by the owner of the source file.
Ownership can be changed by using the OWNER option.
Default READ, WRITE, and EXECUTE Security
The security of the destination file is the same as the security of the source file, unless
the destination is on a remote system, in which case the security of the destination file
is changed to allow users on the source system the same level of access to the
