xcp is a file transfer utility published by Excelano LLC that enables users to copy files to and from SharePoint document libraries, operating in a manner analogous to the familiar Unix copy command. The software is currently at version 1.10.0, and a total of three versions have been released, indicating an ongoing development history with iterative improvements made available over time. The primary purpose of xcp is to simplify the movement of files between local environments and SharePoint document libraries, providing a command-line style approach to operations that would otherwise require manual interaction through a web browser or other graphical tools. By emulating the behavior of the Unix copy command, xcp offers an interface that will feel immediately familiar to users who are accustomed to working in terminal-based environments, reducing the learning curve associated with transferring documents to and from SharePoint. This makes the tool particularly relevant for system administrators, developers, and IT professionals who routinely manage files stored in SharePoint and who prefer scriptable, command-driven workflows. Typical use cases include uploading documents from a local machine into a SharePoint document library, downloading files from SharePoint to local storage, and integrating such transfers into automated scripts or batch processes as part of broader file management routines. Within a software catalog, xcp fits naturally into categories related to file management, file transfer utilities, and SharePoint integration tools, as well as command-line utilities more broadly. Because the tool is designed around a well-known command paradigm, it bridges the gap between traditional Unix-style file operations and modern cloud-based document management platforms. Organizations and individuals who rely on SharePoint for document storage can use xcp to streamline routine copying tasks, while the availability of multiple released versions, culminating in the current 1.10.0 release, reflects continued maintenance of the software by Excelano LLC.
