SFTP(1)

NAME
sftp - secure ftp client

SYNOPSIS

sftp [-d debug_level_spec ] [-c cipher ] [-v ] [-S ssh2_path ] [-p remote_port ] [host[#port][ user]]

DESCRIPTION

Sftp (Secure File Transfer) is a ftp-like client that can be used in file transfer over the network. Sftp uses Ssh2 in data connections, so the file transport is secure.

OPTIONS

-d debug_level_spec
    Debug mode. Makes sftp send verbose debug output to stderr. The debugging level is either a number (0-99), or a comma-separated list of assignments "ModulePattern=debug_level".

-c cipher
    Select encryption algorithm. Multiple -c options are allowed and a single -c flag can have only one cipher.

-v  Enable verbose mode. Display verbose debugging messages. Equal to `-d 2'. This option can also be specified in the configuration file.

-S ssh2_path
    Specifies the path to ssh2 used in connecting.

-p remote_port
