61e96248 | 47 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
48 | .Nm | |
49 | is an interactive file transfer program, similar to | |
50 | .Xr ftp 1 , | |
51 | which performs all operations over an encrypted | |
52 | .Xr ssh 1 | |
53 | transport. | |
54 | It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and | |
55 | compression. | |
56 | .Nm | |
57 | connects and logs into the specified | |
cf7ff074 | 58 | .Ar host , |
61e96248 | 59 | then enters an interactive command mode. |
60 | .Pp | |
3730bb22 | 61 | The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive |
cf7ff074 | 62 | authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after |
63 | successful interactive authentication. | |
edeeab1e | 64 | .Pp |
65 | The last usage format allows the sftp client to start in a remote directory. | |
66 | .Pp | |
61e96248 | 67 | The options are as follows: |
68 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
a5ec8a3d | 69 | .It Fl b Ar batchfile |
70 | Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input | |
acf06a60 | 71 | .Ar batchfile |
a5ec8a3d | 72 | instead of |
acf06a60 | 73 | .Em stdin . |
74 | Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with | |
75 | non-interactive authentication. | |
76 | .Nm | |
3730bb22 | 77 | will abort if any of the following |
78 | commands fail: | |
acf06a60 | 79 | .Ic get , put , rename , ln , rm , mkdir , chdir , lchdir |
a5ec8a3d | 80 | and |
acf06a60 | 81 | .Ic lmkdir . |
61e96248 | 82 | .It Fl o Ar ssh_option |
38539909 | 83 | Can be used to pass options to |
84 | .Nm ssh | |
85 | in the format used in the | |
86 | .Xr ssh 1 | |
87 | configuration file. This is useful for specifying options | |
88 | for which there is no separate | |
89 | .Nm sftp | |
e3c1c3e6 | 90 | command-line flag. For example, to specify an alternate |
91 | port use: | |
92 | .Ic sftp -oPort=24 . | |
93 | .It Fl s Ar subsystem | sftp_server | |
94 | Specifies the SSH2 subsystem or the path for an sftp server | |
95 | on the remote host. A path is useful for using sftp over | |
96 | protocol version 1, or when the remote | |
97 | .Nm sshd | |
98 | does not have an sftp subsystem configured. | |
7d5e8c46 | 99 | .It Fl v |
100 | Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh. | |
101 | .It Fl B Ar buffer_size | |
102 | Specify the size of the buffer that | |
103 | .Nm | |
104 | uses when transferring files. Larger buffers require fewer round trips at | |
105 | the cost of higher memory consumption. The default is 32768 bytes. | |
106 | .It Fl C | |
107 | Enables compression (via ssh's | |
108 | .Fl C | |
109 | flag). | |
110 | .It Fl F Ar ssh_config | |
111 | Specifies an alternative | |
112 | per-user configuration file for | |
113 | .Nm ssh . | |
114 | This option is directly passed to | |
115 | .Xr ssh 1 . | |
116 | .It Fl P Ar sftp_server path | |
117 | Connect directly to a local | |
118 | .Nm sftp-server | |
119 | (rather than via | |
120 | .Nm ssh ) | |
121 | This option may be useful in debugging the client and server. | |
c25d3df7 | 122 | .It Fl R Ar num_requests |
123 | Specify how many requests may be outstanding at any one time. Increasing | |
124 | this may slightly improve file transfer speed but will increase memory | |
125 | usage. The default is 16 outstanding requests. | |
e3c1c3e6 | 126 | .It Fl S Ar program |
127 | Name of the | |
128 | .Ar program | |
129 | to use for the encrypted connection. | |
130 | The program must understand | |
131 | .Xr ssh 1 | |
132 | options. | |
7d5e8c46 | 133 | .It Fl 1 |
134 | Specify the use of protocol version 1. | |
61e96248 | 135 | .El |
136 | .Sh INTERACTIVE COMMANDS | |
0426a3b4 | 137 | Once in interactive mode, |
138 | .Nm | |
3730bb22 | 139 | understands a set of commands similar to those of |
61e96248 | 140 | .Xr ftp 1 . |
a0e6fead | 141 | Commands are case insensitive and pathnames may be enclosed in quotes if they |
142 | contain spaces. | |
