.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is an interactive file transfer program, similar to
.Xr ftp 1 ,
which performs all operations over an encrypted
.Xr ssh 1
transport.
It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
compression.
.Nm
connects and logs into the specified
2002-03-18 09:55:03 +00:00
.Ar host ,
then enters an interactive command mode.
.Pp
2002-03-18 09:55:03 +00:00
The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive
authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after
successful interactive authentication.
.Pp
2005-06-05 15:40:50 +00:00
The third usage format allows
.Nm
to start in a remote directory.
.Pp
2004-01-07 11:10:17 +00:00
The final usage format allows for automated sessions using the
.Fl b
option.
In such cases, it is usually necessary to configure public key authentication
to obviate the need to enter a password at connection time (see
.Xr sshd 8
and
.Xr ssh-keygen 1
for details).
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
2004-02-26 10:38:49 +00:00
.It Fl 1
Specify the use of protocol version 1.
.It Fl B Ar buffer_size
Specify the size of the buffer that
.Nm
uses when transferring files.
Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher
memory consumption.
The default is 32768 bytes.
.It Fl b Ar batchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input
.Ar batchfile
instead of
.Em stdin .
Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with
non-interactive authentication.
2004-02-26 10:38:49 +00:00
A
.Ar batchfile
of
.Sq \-
may be used to indicate standard input.
.Nm
2002-03-18 09:55:03 +00:00
will abort if any of the following
commands fail:
.Ic get , put , rename , ln ,
.Ic rm , mkdir , chdir , ls ,
.Ic lchdir , chmod , chown , chgrp , lpwd
and
.Ic lmkdir .
Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by
prefixing the command with a
2004-02-26 10:38:49 +00:00
.Sq \-
2004-01-07 11:10:17 +00:00
character (for example,
.Ic -rm /tmp/blah* ) .
2004-02-26 10:38:49 +00:00
.It Fl C
Enables compression (via ssh's
.Fl C
flag).
.It Fl F Ar ssh_config
Specifies an alternative
per-user configuration file for
.Xr ssh 1 .
This option is directly passed to
.Xr ssh 1 .
.It Fl o Ar ssh_option
2002-03-18 09:55:03 +00:00
Can be used to pass options to
.Nm ssh
2002-06-23 14:01:54 +00:00
in the format used in
.Xr ssh_config 5 .
This is useful for specifying options
2002-03-18 09:55:03 +00:00
for which there is no separate
.Nm sftp
2004-01-07 11:10:17 +00:00
command-line flag.
For example, to specify an alternate port use:
2002-03-18 09:55:03 +00:00
.Ic sftp -oPort=24 .
2004-02-26 10:38:49 +00:00

.It Fl R Ar num_requests
2004-01-07 11:10:17 +00:00

.It Fl s Ar subsystem | sftp_server

on the remote host.
A path is useful for using
.Nm
over protocol version 1, or when the remote

does not have an sftp subsystem configured.
.It Fl v
Raise logging level.
This option is also passed to ssh.
.El
.Sh INTERACTIVE COMMANDS

.Nm
2002-03-18 09:55:03 +00:00
understands a set of commands similar to those of
.Xr ftp 1 .
2005-06-05 15:40:50 +00:00
Commands are case insensitive.
Pathnames that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotes.
Any special characters contained within pathnames that are recognized by
.Xr glob 3
must be escaped with backslashes
