.It Fl 1
Specify the use of protocol version 1.

.It Fl B Ar buffer_size
Specify the size of the buffer that
.Nm
Enables compression (via ssh's
.Fl C
flag).
+.It Fl c Ar cipher
+Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfers.
+This option is directly passed to
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl D Ar sftp_server_path
+Connect directly to a local sftp server
+(rather than via
+.Xr ssh 1 ) .
+This option may be useful in debugging the client and server.
.It Fl F Ar ssh_config
Specifies an alternative
per-user configuration file for
