56 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
57 | .Nm | |
58 | is an interactive file transfer program, similar to | |
59 | .Xr ftp 1 , | |
60 | which performs all operations over an encrypted | |
61 | .Xr ssh 1 | |
62 | transport. | |
63 | It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and | |
64 | compression. | |
65 | .Nm | |
66 | connects and logs into the specified | |
67 | .Ar host , | |
68 | then enters an interactive command mode. | |
69 | .Pp | |
70 | The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive | |
71 | authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after | |
72 | successful interactive authentication. | |
73 | .Pp | |
74 | The third usage format allows the sftp client to start in a remote directory. | |
75 | .Pp | |
76 | The final usage format allows for automated sessions using the | |
77 | .Fl b | |
78 | option. | |
79 | In such cases, it is usually necessary to configure public key authentication | |
80 | to obviate the need to enter a password at connection time (see | |
81 | .Xr sshd 8 | |
82 | and | |
83 | .Xr ssh-keygen 1 | |
84 | for details). | |
85 | The options are as follows: | |
86 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
87 | .It Fl b Ar batchfile | |
88 | Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input | |
89 | .Ar batchfile | |
90 | instead of | |
91 | .Em stdin . | |
92 | Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with | |
93 | non-interactive authentication. | |
94 | .Nm | |
95 | will abort if any of the following | |
96 | commands fail: | |
97 | .Ic get , put , rename , ln , | |
98 | .Ic rm , mkdir , chdir , ls , | |
99 | .Ic lchdir , chmod , chown , chgrp , lpwd | |
100 | and | |
101 | .Ic lmkdir . | |
102 | Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by | |
103 | prefixing the command with a | |
104 | .Sq Ic \- | |
105 | character (for example, | |
106 | .Ic -rm /tmp/blah* ) . | |
107 | .It Fl o Ar ssh_option | |
108 | Can be used to pass options to | |
109 | .Nm ssh | |
110 | in the format used in | |
111 | .Xr ssh_config 5 . | |
112 | This is useful for specifying options | |
113 | for which there is no separate | |
114 | .Nm sftp | |
115 | command-line flag. | |
116 | For example, to specify an alternate port use: | |
117 | .Ic sftp -oPort=24 . | |
118 | .It Fl s Ar subsystem | sftp_server | |
119 | Specifies the SSH2 subsystem or the path for an sftp server | |
120 | on the remote host. | |
121 | A path is useful for using | |
122 | .Nm | |
123 | over protocol version 1, or when the remote | |
124 | .Xr sshd 8 | |
125 | does not have an sftp subsystem configured. | |
126 | .It Fl v | |
127 | Raise logging level. | |
128 | This option is also passed to ssh. | |
129 | .It Fl B Ar buffer_size | |
130 | Specify the size of the buffer that | |
131 | .Nm | |
132 | uses when transferring files. | |
133 | Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher | |
134 | memory consumption. | |
135 | The default is 32768 bytes. | |
136 | .It Fl C | |
137 | Enables compression (via ssh's | |
138 | .Fl C | |
139 | flag). | |
140 | .It Fl F Ar ssh_config | |
141 | Specifies an alternative | |
142 | per-user configuration file for | |
143 | .Xr ssh 1 . | |
144 | This option is directly passed to | |
145 | .Xr ssh 1 . | |
146 | .It Fl P Ar sftp_server path | |
147 | Connect directly to a local sftp server | |
148 | (rather than via | |
149 | .Xr ssh 1 ) | |
150 | This option may be useful in debugging the client and server. | |
151 | .It Fl R Ar num_requests | |
152 | Specify how many requests may be outstanding at any one time. | |
153 | Increasing this may slightly improve file transfer speed | |
154 | but will increase memory usage. | |
155 | The default is 16 outstanding requests. | |
156 | .It Fl S Ar program | |
157 | Name of the | |
158 | .Ar program | |
159 | to use for the encrypted connection. | |
160 | The program must understand | |
161 | .Xr ssh 1 | |
162 | options. | |
163 | .It Fl 1 | |
164 | Specify the use of protocol version 1. | |
165 | .El | |
166 | .Sh INTERACTIVE COMMANDS | |
167 | Once in interactive mode, | |
168 | .Nm | |
169 | understands a set of commands similar to those of | |
170 | .Xr ftp 1 . | |
171 | Commands are case insensitive and pathnames may be enclosed in quotes if they | |
172 | contain spaces. | |
