Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +110047.Sh DESCRIPTION
48.Nm
millert@openbsd.org887669e2017-10-21 23:06:24 +000049is a file transfer program, similar to
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +110050.Xr ftp 1 ,
51which performs all operations over an encrypted
52.Xr ssh 1
53transport.
54It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
55compression.
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +110056.Pp
millert@openbsd.org887669e2017-10-21 23:06:24 +000057The
58.Ar destination
59may be specified either as
jmc@openbsd.org@openbsd.org0b2e2892017-10-25 06:19:46 +000060.Sm off
61.Oo user @ Oc host Op : path
62.Sm on
63or as a URI in the form
64.Sm off
65.No sftp:// Oo user @ Oc host Oo : port Oc Op / path .
66.Sm on
millert@openbsd.org887669e2017-10-21 23:06:24 +000067.Pp
68If the
69.Ar destination
70includes a
71.Ar path
72and it is not a directory,
73.Nm
74will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive
Ben Lindstromaafff9c2001-05-06 03:01:02 +000075authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after
76successful interactive authentication.
Ben Lindstrom63667f62001-04-13 00:00:14 +000077.Pp
millert@openbsd.org887669e2017-10-21 23:06:24 +000078If no
79.Ar path
80is specified, or if the
81.Ar path
82is a directory,
Darren Tucker16e254d2004-12-06 22:46:45 +110083.Nm
millert@openbsd.org887669e2017-10-21 23:06:24 +000084will log in to the specified
85.Ar host
86and enter interactive command mode, changing to the remote directory
87if one was specified.
88An optional trailing slash can be used to force the
89.Ar path
90to be interpreted as a directory.
Ben Lindstrom63667f62001-04-13 00:00:14 +000091.Pp
millert@openbsd.org887669e2017-10-21 23:06:24 +000092Since the destination formats use colon characters to delimit host
93names from path names or port numbers, IPv6 addresses must be
94enclosed in square brackets to avoid ambiguity.
Damien Miller58a77e22011-05-15 08:36:29 +100095.Pp
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +110096The options are as follows:

Damien Millerd875ff72014-05-15 13:47:15 +1000108existing partial or complete copies of files.
Damien Miller798a0252014-05-15 13:47:37 +1000109If the partial contents differ from those being transferred,
Damien Millerd875ff72014-05-15 13:47:15 +1000110then the resultant file is likely to be corrupt.
Darren Tucker1f203942003-10-15 15:50:42 +1000111.It Fl B Ar buffer_size
112Specify the size of the buffer that
113.Nm
114uses when transferring files.
115Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher
116memory consumption.
117The default is 32768 bytes.
Ben Lindstrom562c26b2001-03-07 01:26:48 +0000118.It Fl b Ar batchfile
119Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input

Ben Lindstrom562c26b2001-03-07 01:26:48 +0000121instead of
Ben Lindstrom283cb822001-03-09 00:09:02 +0000122.Em stdin .
123Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with
millert@openbsd.org887669e2017-10-21 23:06:24 +0000124non-interactive authentication to obviate the need to enter a password
125at connection time (see
126.Xr sshd 8
127and
128.Xr ssh-keygen 1
129for details).

158Connect directly to a local sftp server
159(rather than via
160.Xr ssh 1 ) .
161This option may be useful in debugging the client and server.
Darren Tucker1f203942003-10-15 15:50:42 +1000162.It Fl F Ar ssh_config
163Specifies an alternative
164per-user configuration file for

169Requests that files be flushed to disk immediately after transfer.
170When uploading files, this feature is only enabled if the server
171implements the "fsync@openssh.com" extension.
Darren Tucker46bbbe32009-10-07 08:21:48 +1100172.It Fl i Ar identity_file
173Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key

Damien Miller50677922003-05-23 18:44:04 +1000187command-line flag.
188For example, to specify an alternate port use:

264Increasing this may slightly improve file transfer speed

Damien Miller94717b02008-07-16 21:17:23 +1000266The default is 64 outstanding requests.
