Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers File Listing from remote to loca directory using SFTP Post 302625339 by methyl on Tuesday 17th of April 2012 03:29:32 PM

pava_test is effectively asking whether this universal ftp syntax works with sftp ? :
Code:
dir <remote dir> <directory_list_file>

The ftp syntax drops a directory listing to a local file which is really useful.
Anybody know. Does it work with sftp ?


(Whenever I have possible sftp I also have scp and there is no contest.)
