Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +110058.Sh DESCRIPTION
59.Nm
60is an interactive file transfer program, similar to
61.Xr ftp 1 ,
62which performs all operations over an encrypted
63.Xr ssh 1
64transport.
65It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
66compression.
67.Nm
68connects and logs into the specified
Ben Lindstromaafff9c2001-05-06 03:01:02 +000069.Ar host ,
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +110070then enters an interactive command mode.
71.Pp
Ben Lindstrom24643222001-06-25 05:08:11 +000072The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive
Ben Lindstromaafff9c2001-05-06 03:01:02 +000073authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after
74successful interactive authentication.
Ben Lindstrom63667f62001-04-13 00:00:14 +000075.Pp
Darren Tucker16e254d2004-12-06 22:46:45 +110076The third usage format allows
77.Nm
78to start in a remote directory.
Ben Lindstrom63667f62001-04-13 00:00:14 +000079.Pp
Damien Miller50677922003-05-23 18:44:04 +100080The final usage format allows for automated sessions using the

Damien Miller50677922003-05-23 18:44:04 +100082option.
Damien Miller134eb812005-12-31 16:22:55 +110083In such cases, it is necessary to configure non-interactive authentication
Damien Miller50677922003-05-23 18:44:04 +100084to obviate the need to enter a password at connection time (see
Damien Millerfb7508e2003-05-14 13:47:07 +100085.Xr sshd 8
Damien Millerd6ead282003-05-14 19:30:38 +100086and

Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +110089The options are as follows:
90.Bl -tag -width Ds
Darren Tucker1f203942003-10-15 15:50:42 +100091.It Fl 1
92Specify the use of protocol version 1.
Darren Tucker46bbbe32009-10-07 08:21:48 +110093.It Fl 2
94Specify the use of protocol version 2.
95.It Fl 4
96Forces
97.Nm
98to use IPv4 addresses only.
99.It Fl 6

102to use IPv6 addresses only.
Darren Tucker1f203942003-10-15 15:50:42 +1000103.It Fl B Ar buffer_size
104Specify the size of the buffer that
105.Nm
106uses when transferring files.
107Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher
108memory consumption.
109The default is 32768 bytes.
Ben Lindstrom562c26b2001-03-07 01:26:48 +0000110.It Fl b Ar batchfile
111Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input

Ben Lindstrom562c26b2001-03-07 01:26:48 +0000113instead of
Ben Lindstrom283cb822001-03-09 00:09:02 +0000114.Em stdin .
115Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with
Damien Miller86a39682004-01-21 11:00:04 +1100116non-interactive authentication.

Ben Lindstrom24643222001-06-25 05:08:11 +0000123will abort if any of the following
124commands fail:

Damien Miller495dca32003-04-01 21:42:14 +1000131Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by
132prefixing the command with a

Damien Miller50677922003-05-23 18:44:04 +1000134character (for example,
135.Ic -rm /tmp/blah* ) .
Darren Tucker1f203942003-10-15 15:50:42 +1000136.It Fl C
137Enables compression (via ssh's
138.Fl C
139flag).
Darren Tuckeradba1ba2009-10-07 08:22:20 +1100140.It Fl c Ar cipher
141Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfers.
142This option is directly passed to
143.Xr ssh 1 .
Darren Tucker282b4022009-10-07 08:23:06 +1100144.It Fl D Ar sftp_server_path
145Connect directly to a local sftp server
146(rather than via
147.Xr ssh 1 ) .
148This option may be useful in debugging the client and server.
Darren Tucker1f203942003-10-15 15:50:42 +1000149.It Fl F Ar ssh_config
150Specifies an alternative
151per-user configuration file for
152.Xr ssh 1 .
153This option is directly passed to
154.Xr ssh 1 .
Darren Tucker46bbbe32009-10-07 08:21:48 +1100155.It Fl i Ar identity_file
156Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key
157authentication is read.
158This option is directly passed to
159.Xr ssh 1 .
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +1100160.It Fl o Ar ssh_option
Ben Lindstrom14c62eb2001-08-15 23:25:46 +0000161Can be used to pass options to
162.Nm ssh
Ben Lindstrom3072aae2002-06-21 01:02:39 +0000163in the format used in
164.Xr ssh_config 5 .
165This is useful for specifying options
Ben Lindstrom14c62eb2001-08-15 23:25:46 +0000166for which there is no separate
167.Nm sftp
Damien Miller50677922003-05-23 18:44:04 +1000168command-line flag.
169For example, to specify an alternate port use:

Damien Miller50677922003-05-23 18:44:04 +1000234Specify how many requests may be outstanding at any one time.
235Increasing this may slightly improve file transfer speed
236but will increase memory usage.
Damien Miller94717b02008-07-16 21:17:23 +1000237The default is 64 outstanding requests.

255over protocol version 1, or when the remote
256.Xr sshd 8
257does not have an sftp subsystem configured.
