SFTP(1) System Reference Manual SFTP(1)
NAME
sftp - Secure file transfer program
SYNOPSIS
sftp [-vC] [-b batchfile] [-o ssh_option] [host]
sftp [[user@]host[:file [file]]]
sftp [[user@]host[:dir[/]]]
DESCRIPTION
sftp is an interactive file transfer program, similar to ftp(1), which
performs all operations over an encrypted ssh(1) transport. It may also
use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and compresM--
sion. sftp connects and logs into the specified hostname, then enters an
interactive command mode.
The second usage format will fetch files automaticly if a non-interactive
authentication is used, else it do so after an interactive authentication
is used.
The last usage format allows the sftp client to start in a remote direcM--
tory.
The options are as follows:
-b batchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile inM--
stead of stdin. Since it lacks user interaction it should be used
in conjunction with non-interactive authentication. sftp will
abort if any of the following commands fail: get, put, rename,
ln, rm and lmkdir.
-C Enables compression (via ssh's -C flag)
-o ssh_option
Specify an option to be directly passed to ssh(1).
-v Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh.
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
Once in interactive mode, sftp understands a set of commands similar to
those of ftp(1). Commands are case insensitive and pathnames may be enM--
closed in quotes if they contain spaces.
cd path
Change remote directory to path.
lcd path
Change local directory to path.
chgrp grp path
Change group of file path to grp. grp must be a numeric GID.
chmod mode path
Change permissions of file path to mode.
chown own path
Change owner of file path to own. own must be a numeric UID.
exit Quit sftp.
get [flags] remote-path [local-path]
Retrieve the remote-path and store it on the local machine. If
the local path name is not specified, it is given the same name
it has on the remote machine. If the -P flag is specified, then
the file's full permission and access time are copied too.
help Display help text.
lls [ls-options [path]]
Display local directory listing of either path or current direcM--
tory if path is not specified.
lmkdir path
Create local directory specified by path.
ln oldpath newpath
Create a symbolic link from oldpath to newpath.
lpwd Print local working directory.
ls [path]
Display remote directory listing of either path or current direcM--
tory if path is not specified.
lumask umask
Set local umask to umask.
mkdir path
Create remote directory specified by path.
put [flags] local-path [local-path]
Upload local-path and store it on the remote machine. If the reM--
mote path name is not specified, it is given the same name it has
on the local machine. If the -P flag is specified, then the
file's full permission and access time are copied too.
pwd Display remote working directory.
quit Quit sftp.
rename oldpath newpath
Rename remote file from oldpath to newpath.
rmdir path
Remove remote directory specified by path.
rm path
Delete remote file specified by path.
symlink oldpath newpath
Create a symbolic link from oldpath to newpath.
! command
Execute command in local shell.
! Escape to local shell.
? Synonym for help.
