 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 .Nm
 is a file transfer program, similar to
 .Xr ftp 1 ,
 which performs all operations over an encrypted
 .Xr ssh 1
 transport.
 It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
 compression.
 .Pp
 The
 .Ar destination
 may be specified either as
 .Sm off
 .Oo user @ Oc host Op : path
 .Sm on
 or as a URI in the form
 .Sm off
 .No sftp:// Oo user @ Oc host Oo : port Oc Op / path .
 .Sm on
 .Pp
 If the
 .Ar destination
 includes a
 .Ar path
 and it is not a directory,
 .Nm
 will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive
 authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after
 successful interactive authentication.
 .Pp
 If no
 .Ar path
 is specified, or if the
 .Ar path
 is a directory,
 .Nm
 will log in to the specified
 .Ar host
 and enter interactive command mode, changing to the remote directory
 if one was specified.
 An optional trailing slash can be used to force the
 .Ar path
 to be interpreted as a directory.
 .Pp
 Since the destination formats use colon characters to delimit host
 names from path names or port numbers, IPv6 addresses must be
 enclosed in square brackets to avoid ambiguity.
 .Pp
 The options are as follows:
 .Bl -tag -width Ds
 .It Fl 4
 Forces
 .Nm
 to use IPv4 addresses only.
 .It Fl 6
 Forces
 .Nm
 to use IPv6 addresses only.
 .It Fl a
 Attempt to continue interrupted transfers rather than overwriting
 existing partial or complete copies of files.
 If the partial contents differ from those being transferred,
 then the resultant file is likely to be corrupt.
 .It Fl B Ar buffer_size
 Specify the size of the buffer that
 .Nm
 uses when transferring files.
 Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher
 memory consumption.
 The default is 32768 bytes.
 .It Fl b Ar batchfile
 Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input
 .Ar batchfile
 instead of
 .Em stdin .
 Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with
 non-interactive authentication to obviate the need to enter a password
 at connection time (see
 .Xr sshd 8
 and
 .Xr ssh-keygen 1
 for details).
 A
 .Ar batchfile
 of
 .Sq \-
 may be used to indicate standard input.
 .Nm
 will abort if any of the following
 commands fail:
 .Ic get , put , reget , reput, rename , ln ,
 .Ic rm , mkdir , chdir , ls ,
 .Ic lchdir , chmod , chown ,
 .Ic chgrp , lpwd , df , symlink ,
 and
 .Ic lmkdir .
 Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by
 prefixing the command with a
 .Sq \-
 character (for example,
 .Ic -rm /tmp/blah* ) .
 .It Fl C
 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
 .Xr ssh 1 .
 This option is directly passed to
 .Xr ssh 1 .
 .It Fl f
 Requests that files be flushed to disk immediately after transfer.
 When uploading files, this feature is only enabled if the server
 implements the "fsync@openssh.com" extension.
 .It Fl i Ar identity_file
 Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key
 authentication is read.
 This option is directly passed to
 .Xr ssh 1 .
 .It Fl l Ar limit
 Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
 .It Fl o Ar ssh_option
 Can be used to pass options to
 .Nm ssh
 in the format used in
 .Xr ssh_config 5 .
 This is useful for specifying options
 for which there is no separate
 .Nm sftp
 command-line flag.
 For example, to specify an alternate port use:
 .Ic sftp -oPort=24 .
 For full details of the options listed below, and their possible values, see
 .Xr ssh_config 5 .

 .El
 .It Fl P Ar port
 Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host.
 .It Fl p
 Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
 original files transferred.
 .It Fl q
 Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and
 diagnostic messages from
 .Xr ssh 1 .
 .It Fl R Ar num_requests
 Specify how many requests may be outstanding at any one time.
 Increasing this may slightly improve file transfer speed
 but will increase memory usage.
 The default is 64 outstanding requests.
 .It Fl r
 Recursively copy entire directories when uploading and downloading.
 Note that
 .Nm
 does not follow symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
 .It Fl S Ar program
 Name of the
 .Ar program
 to use for the encrypted connection.
 The program must understand
 .Xr ssh 1
 options.
 .It Fl s Ar subsystem | sftp_server
 Specifies the SSH2 subsystem or the path for an sftp server
 on the remote host.
 A path is useful when the remote
 .Xr sshd 8
 does not have an sftp subsystem configured.
 .It Fl v
 Raise logging level.
 This option is also passed to ssh.
 .El
 .Sh INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
 Once in interactive mode,
 .Nm
 understands a set of commands similar to those of
 .Xr ftp 1 .
 Commands are case insensitive.
 Pathnames that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotes.
 Any special characters contained within pathnames that are recognized by
 .Xr glob 3
 must be escaped with backslashes
 .Pq Sq \e .
 .Bl -tag -width Ds
 .It Ic bye
 Quit

 .Ar path .
 If

 .Ar path
 may contain
 .Xr glob 3
 characters and may match multiple files.

 .Ar path
 to
 .Ar mode .
 .Ar path
 may contain
 .Xr glob 3

 flag is specified, the capacity information will be displayed using
 "human-readable" suffixes.

 flag requests display of inode information in addition to capacity information.
 This command is only supported on servers that implement the
 .Dq statvfs@openssh.com
 extension.

 characters and may match multiple files.
 If it does and
 .Ar local-path
 is specified, then

 Note that resumption assumes that any partial copy of the local file matches
 the remote copy.
 If the remote file contents differ from the partial local copy then the
 resultant file is likely to be corrupt.
 .Pp
 If the
 .Fl f
 flag is specified, then
 .Xr fsync 2
 will be called after the file transfer has completed to flush the file
 to disk.
 .Pp
 If either the
 .Fl P

 flag is specified then directories will be copied recursively.
 Note that
 .Nm
 does not follow symbolic links when performing recursive transfers.
 .It Ic help

 .Xr glob 3
 characters and may match multiple files.
 .Pp
 The following flags are recognized and alter the behaviour of
 .Ic ls
 accordingly:
 .Bl -tag -width Ds
 .It Fl 1
 Produce single columnar output.
 .It Fl a
 List files beginning with a dot
 .Pq Sq \&. .
 .It Fl f
 Do not sort the listing.
 The default sort order is lexicographical.
 .It Fl h
 When used with a long format option, use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte,
 Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, Petabyte, and Exabyte in order to reduce
 the number of digits to four or fewer using powers of 2 for sizes (K=1024,

 on the local machine.
 .Ar local-path
 may contain
 .Xr glob 3
 characters and may match multiple files.
 If it does and
 .Ar remote-path
 is specified, then
 .Ar remote-path
 must specify a directory.
 .Pp
 If the
 .Fl a
 flag is specified, then attempt to resume partial
 transfers of existing files.
 Note that resumption assumes that any partial copy of the remote file
 matches the local copy.
 If the local file contents differ from the remote local copy then
 the resultant file is likely to be corrupt.
 .Pp
 If the
 .Fl f
 flag is specified, then a request will be sent to the server to call
 .Xr fsync 2
 after the file has been transferred.
 Note that this is only supported by servers that implement
 the "fsync@openssh.com" extension.
 .Pp
 If either the
 .Fl P
 or
 .Fl p
 flag is specified, then full file permissions and access times are
 copied too.
