27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm sftp
30.Nd Secure file transfer program
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Nm sftp
33.Op Fl vC
34.Op Fl b Ar batchfile
35.Op Fl o Ar ssh_option
36.Op Ar hostname | user@hostname
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38.Nm
39is an interactive file transfer program, similar to
40.Xr ftp 1 ,
41which performs all operations over an encrypted
42.Xr ssh 1
43transport.
44It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
45compression.
46.Nm
47connects and logs into the specified
48.Ar hostname ,
49then enters an interactive command mode.
50.Pp
51The options are as follows:
52.Bl -tag -width Ds
53.It Fl b Ar batchfile
54Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input
55.Fn batchfile
56instead of
57.Fn stdin .
58Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjuction with a
59non-interactive authentication. Sftp will abort if any of the following
60commands fail:
61.Pa get, put, rename, ln, rm, mkdir, chdir, lchdir
62and
63.Pa lmkdir.
