3c0ef626 | 55 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
56 | .Nm | |
57 | is an interactive file transfer program, similar to | |
58 | .Xr ftp 1 , | |
59 | which performs all operations over an encrypted | |
60 | .Xr ssh 1 | |
61 | transport. | |
62 | It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and | |
63 | compression. | |
64 | .Nm | |
65 | connects and logs into the specified | |
66 | .Ar host , | |
67 | then enters an interactive command mode. | |
68 | .Pp | |
69 | The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive | |
70 | authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after | |
71 | successful interactive authentication. | |
72 | .Pp | |
996d5e62 | 73 | The third usage format allows |
74 | .Nm | |
75 | to start in a remote directory. | |
3c0ef626 | 76 | .Pp |
0fff78ff | 77 | The final usage format allows for automated sessions using the |
78 | .Fl b | |
79 | option. | |
2c06c99b | 80 | In such cases, it is necessary to configure non-interactive authentication |
0fff78ff | 81 | to obviate the need to enter a password at connection time (see |
82 | .Xr sshd 8 | |
83 | and | |
84 | .Xr ssh-keygen 1 | |
85 | for details). | |
3c0ef626 | 86 | The options are as follows: |
87 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
cdd66111 | 88 | .It Fl 1 |
89 | Specify the use of protocol version 1. | |
90 | .It Fl B Ar buffer_size | |
91 | Specify the size of the buffer that | |
92 | .Nm | |
93 | uses when transferring files. | |
94 | Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher | |
95 | memory consumption. | |
96 | The default is 32768 bytes. | |
3c0ef626 | 97 | .It Fl b Ar batchfile |
98 | Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input | |
99 | .Ar batchfile | |
100 | instead of | |
101 | .Em stdin . | |
102 | Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with | |
103 | non-interactive authentication. | |
cdd66111 | 104 | A |
105 | .Ar batchfile | |
106 | of | |
107 | .Sq \- | |
108 | may be used to indicate standard input. | |
3c0ef626 | 109 | .Nm |
110 | will abort if any of the following | |
111 | commands fail: | |
e9a17296 | 112 | .Ic get , put , rename , ln , |
6a9b3198 | 113 | .Ic rm , mkdir , chdir , ls , |
22616013 | 114 | .Ic lchdir , chmod , chown , |
115 | .Ic chgrp , lpwd , df , | |
3c0ef626 | 116 | and |
117 | .Ic lmkdir . | |
6a9b3198 | 118 | Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by |
119 | prefixing the command with a | |
cdd66111 | 120 | .Sq \- |
0fff78ff | 121 | character (for example, |
122 | .Ic -rm /tmp/blah* ) . | |
cdd66111 | 123 | .It Fl C |
124 | Enables compression (via ssh's | |
125 | .Fl C | |
126 | flag). | |
127 | .It Fl F Ar ssh_config | |
128 | Specifies an alternative | |
129 | per-user configuration file for | |
130 | .Xr ssh 1 . | |
131 | This option is directly passed to | |
132 | .Xr ssh 1 . | |
3c0ef626 | 133 | .It Fl o Ar ssh_option |
134 | Can be used to pass options to | |
135 | .Nm ssh | |
f5799ae1 | 136 | in the format used in |
137 | .Xr ssh_config 5 . | |
138 | This is useful for specifying options | |
3c0ef626 | 139 | for which there is no separate |
140 | .Nm sftp | |
0fff78ff | 141 | command-line flag. |
142 | For example, to specify an alternate port use: | |
3c0ef626 | 143 | .Ic sftp -oPort=24 . |

e9a17296 | 199 | (rather than via |
996d5e62 | 200 | .Xr ssh 1 ) . |
e9a17296 | 201 | This option may be useful in debugging the client and server. |
202 | .It Fl R Ar num_requests | |
0fff78ff | 203 | Specify how many requests may be outstanding at any one time. |
204 | Increasing this may slightly improve file transfer speed | |
205 | but will increase memory usage. | |
22616013 | 206 | The default is 64 outstanding requests. |
3c0ef626 | 207 | .It Fl S Ar program |
208 | Name of the | |
209 | .Ar program | |
210 | to use for the encrypted connection. | |
211 | The program must understand | |
212 | .Xr ssh 1 | |
213 | options. | |
cdd66111 | 214 | .It Fl s Ar subsystem | sftp_server |
215 | Specifies the SSH2 subsystem or the path for an sftp server | |
216 | on the remote host. | |
217 | A path is useful for using | |
218 | .Nm | |
219 | over protocol version 1, or when the remote | |
220 | .Xr sshd 8 | |
221 | does not have an sftp subsystem configured. | |
222 | .It Fl v | |
223 | Raise logging level. | |
224 | This option is also passed to ssh. | |

226 | .Sh INTERACTIVE COMMANDS | |
227 | Once in interactive mode, | |
228 | .Nm | |
229 | understands a set of commands similar to those of | |
230 | .Xr ftp 1 . | |
996d5e62 | 231 | Commands are case insensitive. |
232 | Pathnames that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotes. | |
233 | Any special characters contained within pathnames that are recognized by | |

286 | "human-readable" suffixes. | |
287 | The | |
