 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 .Nm
 is an interactive 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.
 .Nm
 connects and logs into the specified
 .Ar host ,
 then enters an interactive command mode.
 .Pp
 The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive
 authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after
 successful interactive authentication.
 .Pp
 The third usage format allows the sftp client to start in a remote directory.
 .Pp
 The final usage format allows for automated sessions using the
 .Fl b
 option.
 In such cases, it is usually necessary to configure public key authentication
 to obviate the need to enter a password at connection time (see
 .Xr sshd 8
 and
 .Xr ssh-keygen 1
 for details).
 The options are as follows:
 .Bl -tag -width Ds
 .It Fl 1
 Specify the use of protocol version 1.
 .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.
 .Nm
 will abort if any of the following
 commands fail:
 .Ic get , put , rename , ln ,
 .Ic rm , mkdir , chdir , ls ,
 .Ic lchdir , chmod , chown , chgrp , lpwd
 and
 .Ic lmkdir .
 Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by
 prefixing the command with a
 .Sq Ic \-
 character (for example,
 .Ic -rm /tmp/blah* ) .
 .It Fl C
 Enables compression (via ssh's
 .Fl C
 flag).
 .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 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 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 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 16 outstanding requests.
 .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 for using
 .Nm
 over protocol version 1, or 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 and pathnames may be enclosed in quotes if they
 contain spaces.
 .Bl -tag -width "lmdir path"
 .It Ic bye
 Quit
 .Nm sftp .
 .It Ic cd Ar path
 Change remote directory to
