sftp(1) User Commands sftp(1)
NAME
sftp - secure file transfer program
SYNOPSIS
sftp [options] [user@]host[:dir[/]]
sftp [options] [user@]host[:file1 [file1 [file | dir2]]
DESCRIPTION
The sftp utility is an interactive file transfer program with a user interface similar to ftp(1) that uses the ssh(1) command to create a
secure connection to the server.
sftp implements the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer. There is no relationship between the protocol
used by sftp and the FTP protocol (RFC959) provided by ftp(1).
The first usage format causes sftp to connect to the given host and enter an interactive mode. If a username was provided then sftp tries
to log in as the given user. If a directory is provided then sftp tries to change the current directory on the server to the given direc-
tory before entering the interactive mode.
The second usage format retrieves the given file from the server and copies it to the given target file or directory on the client. If a
username is given sftp tries to log in as the given user.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-1
Specifies the use of protocol version 1.
-b batchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile instead of stdin. Since it lacks user interaction, it should be used in
conjunction with non-interactive authentication. sftp aborts if any of the following commands fail: get, rm, and lmkdir.
-B buffer_size
Specifies the size of the buffer that sftp uses when transferring files. Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher
memory consumption. The default is 32768 bytes.
-C
Enables compression, using the -C flag in ssh(1).
-F ssh_config
Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-o ssh_option
Specifies an option to be directly passed to ssh(1).
-P sftp_server path
Executes the given path as an sftp-server and uses a pipe, rather than an ssh connection, to communicate with it. This option can be
useful in debugging the sftp client and server. The -P and -S options are mutually exclusive.
-R num_requests
Specifies how many requests can be outstanding at any one time. Increasing this can slightly improve file transfer speed but increases
memory usage. The default is 16 outstanding requests.
-S ssh program path
Uses the given program instead of ssh(1) to connect to the sftp server. The -P and -S options are mutually exclusive.
-s subsystem | sftp_server
Specifies the SSH2 subsystem or the path for an sftp server on the remote host. A path is useful for using sftp over protocol version
1, or when the remote sshd does not have an sftp subsystem configured.
-v
Raises logging level. This option is also passed to ssh(1).
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
hostname | user@hostname
The name of the host to which sftp connects and logs into.
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
Once in interactive mode, sftp understands a set of commands similar to those of ftp(1). Commands are case insensitive and pathnames can be
enclosed in quotes if they contain spaces.
bye
Quits sftp.
cd path
Changes remote directory to path.
lcd path
Changes local directory to path.
chgrp grp path
Changes group of file path to grp. grp must be a numeric GID.

Changes permissions of file path to mode.
chown own path
Changes owner of file path to own. own must be a numeric UID.
help
Displays help text.
get [flags] remote-path [local-path]
Retrieves the remote-path and stores 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.
lls [ls-options [path]]
Displays local directory listing of either path or current directory if path is not specified.
lmkdir path
Creates local directory specified by path.
ln oldpath newpath
Creates a link from oldpath to newpath.

pwd

exit
