SFTP - 'put' doing an 'mput'
Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with F-Secure Unix.

When I try a simple command;
sftp> put local.test remote.test

I expect that the local file local.test would be copied to the remote file remote.test
However sftp is attempting to copy local.test & remote.test from the local machine, as if I had run an mput command.

If I create a local file called remote.test - it successfully copies both files to the remote box.

Is this just a quirk of F-Secure ? If so is there any way to rename a file on the sftp command line ?
If possible I'd like to avoid wrapping this in a script to rename the file locally.

Thanks in advance.
