37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38.Nm
39is an interactive file transfer program, similar to
40.Xr ftp 1 ,
41which performs all operations over an encrypted
42.Xr ssh 1
43transport.
44It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
45compression.
46.Nm
47connects and logs into the specified
Damien Millerd7686fd2001-02-10 00:40:03 +1100[diff] [blame]48.Ar hostname ,
Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +1100[diff] [blame]49then enters an interactive command mode.
50.Pp
51The options are as follows:
52.Bl -tag -width Ds
Ben Lindstrom562c26b2001-03-07 01:26:48 +0000[diff] [blame]53.It Fl b Ar batchfile
54Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input

Ben Lindstrom562c26b2001-03-07 01:26:48 +0000[diff] [blame]56instead of
Ben Lindstrom283cb822001-03-09 00:09:02 +0000[diff] [blame]57.Em stdin .
58Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with
59non-interactive authentication.
60.Nm
61will abort if any of the following
Ben Lindstrom562c26b2001-03-07 01:26:48 +0000[diff] [blame]62commands fail:
