Equivalent of ftp's "quot" command in SFTP

jrobins · #1 (**permalink**) 10-04-2008

Hi All,

How do we execute remote os commands using sftp?

FTP has a command called "quot". But, I would like to know the equivalent of that in SFTP.

Awaiting your reply,

Thanks in Advance,
Jack.

There really is nothing. The ! command runs a local script.
sftp runs adn ftp-like program inside ssh. You could write a script:
1. scp localfile remotefile remotehost
2. ssh "single command to execute on remote box" remotehost

scp copies files, ssh lets you execute remote commands.
Both of these would require key exchange to allow automatic authentication.
