12 | sftp [user@]host[:dir[/]] | ||
13 | sftp -b batchfile [user@]host | ||
14 | |||
15 | DESCRIPTION | ||
16 | sftp is an interactive file transfer program, similar to ftp(1), which | ||
17 | performs all operations over an encrypted ssh(1) transport. It may also | ||
18 | use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and | ||
19 | compression. sftp connects and logs into the specified host, then enters | ||
20 | an interactive command mode. | ||
21 | |||
22 | The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non- | ||
23 | interactive authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after | ||
24 | successful interactive authentication. | ||
25 | |||
26 | The third usage format allows sftp to start in a remote directory. | ||
27 | |||
28 | The final usage format allows for automated sessions using the -b option. | ||
29 | In such cases, it is necessary to configure non-interactive | ||
30 | authentication to obviate the need to enter a password at connection time | ||
31 | (see sshd(8) and ssh-keygen(1) for details). | ||
32 | |||
33 | Since some usage formats use colon characters to delimit host names from | ||
34 | path names, IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in square brackets to avoid | ||
35 | ambiguity. | ||
36 | |||
37 | The options are as follows: | ||
38 | |||
39 | -1 Specify the use of protocol version 1. | ||
40 | |||
41 | -2 Specify the use of protocol version 2. | ||
42 | |||
43 | -4 Forces sftp to use IPv4 addresses only. | ||
44 | |||
45 | -6 Forces sftp to use IPv6 addresses only. | ||
46 | |||
47 | -B buffer_size | ||
48 | Specify the size of the buffer that sftp uses when transferring | ||
49 | files. Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of | ||
50 | higher memory consumption. The default is 32768 bytes. | ||
51 | |||
52 | -b batchfile | ||
53 | Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile | ||
54 | instead of stdin. Since it lacks user interaction it should be | ||
55 | used in conjunction with non-interactive authentication. A | ||
56 | batchfile of `-' may be used to indicate standard input. sftp | ||
57 | will abort if any of the following commands fail: get, put, | ||
58 | reget, rename, ln, rm, mkdir, chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown, | ||
59 | chgrp, lpwd, df, symlink, and lmkdir. Termination on error can | ||
60 | be suppressed on a command by command basis by prefixing the | ||
61 | command with a `-' character (for example, -rm /tmp/blah*). | ||
62 | |||
63 | -C Enables compression (via ssh's -C flag). | ||
64 | |||
65 | -c cipher | ||
66 | Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfers. | ||
67 | This option is directly passed to ssh(1). | ||
68 | |||
69 | -D sftp_server_path | ||
70 | Connect directly to a local sftp server (rather than via ssh(1)). | ||
71 | This option may be useful in debugging the client and server. | ||
72 | |||
73 | -F ssh_config | ||
74 | Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh(1). | ||
75 | This option is directly passed to ssh(1). | ||
76 | |||
77 | -i identity_file | ||
78 | Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public | ||
79 | key authentication is read. This option is directly passed to | ||
80 | ssh(1). | ||
81 | |||
82 | -l limit | ||
83 | Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s. | ||
84 | |||
85 | -o ssh_option | ||
86 | Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used in | ||
87 | ssh_config(5). This is useful for specifying options for which | ||
88 | there is no separate sftp command-line flag. For example, to | ||
89 | specify an alternate port use: sftp -oPort=24. For full details | ||
90 | of the options listed below, and their possible values, see | ||
91 | ssh_config(5). | ||

145 | |||
146 | -P port | ||
147 | Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. | ||
148 | |||
149 | -p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the | ||
150 | original files transferred. | ||
151 | |||
152 | -q Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and | ||
153 | diagnostic messages from ssh(1). | ||
154 | |||
155 | -R num_requests | ||
156 | Specify how many requests may be outstanding at any one time. | ||
157 | Increasing this may slightly improve file transfer speed but will | ||
158 | increase memory usage. The default is 64 outstanding requests. | ||
159 | |||
160 | -r Recursively copy entire directories when uploading and | ||
161 | downloading. Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links | ||
162 | encountered in the tree traversal. | ||
163 | |||
164 | -S program | ||
165 | Name of the program to use for the encrypted connection. The | ||
166 | program must understand ssh(1) options. | ||
167 | |||
168 | -s subsystem | sftp_server | ||
169 | Specifies the SSH2 subsystem or the path for an sftp server on | ||
170 | the remote host. A path is useful for using sftp over protocol | ||
171 | version 1, or when the remote sshd(8) does not have an sftp | ||
172 | subsystem configured. | ||
173 | |||
174 | -v Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh. | ||
175 | |||
176 | INTERACTIVE COMMANDS | ||
177 | Once in interactive mode, sftp understands a set of commands similar to | ||
178 | those of ftp(1). Commands are case insensitive. Pathnames that contain | ||
179 | spaces must be enclosed in quotes. Any special characters contained | ||
180 | within pathnames that are recognized by glob(3) must be escaped with | ||
181 | backslashes (`\'). | ||
182 | |||
183 | bye Quit sftp. | ||
184 | |||
185 | cd path | ||
186 | Change remote directory to path. | ||
187 | |||
188 | chgrp grp path | ||
189 | Change group of file path to grp. path may contain glob(3) | ||
190 | characters and may match multiple files. grp must be a numeric | ||
191 | GID. | ||
192 | |||
193 | chmod mode path | ||
194 | Change permissions of file path to mode. path may contain | ||
195 | glob(3) characters and may match multiple files. | ||
196 | |||
197 | chown own path | ||
198 | Change owner of file path to own. path may contain glob(3) | ||
199 | characters and may match multiple files. own must be a numeric | ||
200 | UID. | ||
201 | |||
202 | df [-hi] [path] | ||
203 | Display usage information for the filesystem holding the current | ||
204 | directory (or path if specified). If the -h flag is specified, | ||
205 | the capacity information will be displayed using "human-readable" | ||
206 | suffixes. The -i flag requests display of inode information in | ||
207 | addition to capacity information. This command is only supported | ||
208 | on servers that implement the ``statvfs@openssh.com'' extension. | ||
209 | |||
210 | exit Quit sftp. | ||
211 | |||
212 | get [-aPpr] remote-path [local-path] | ||
213 | Retrieve the remote-path and store it on the local machine. If | ||
214 | the local path name is not specified, it is given the same name | ||
215 | it has on the remote machine. remote-path may contain glob(3) | ||
216 | characters and may match multiple files. If it does and | ||
217 | local-path is specified, then local-path must specify a | ||
218 | directory. | ||
219 | |||
220 | If the -a flag is specified, then attempt to resume partial | ||
221 | transfers of existing files. Note that resumption assumes that | ||
222 | any partial copy of the local file matches the remote copy. If | ||
223 | the remote file differs from the partial local copy then the | ||
224 | resultant file is likely to be corrupt. | ||
225 | |||
226 | If either the -P or -p flag is specified, then full file | ||
227 | permissions and access times are copied too. | ||
228 | |||
229 | If the -r flag is specified then directories will be copied | ||
230 | recursively. Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links when | ||
231 | performing recursive transfers. | ||
232 | |||
233 | help Display help text. | ||
234 | |||
235 | lcd path | ||
236 | Change local directory to path. | ||
237 | |||
238 | lls [ls-options [path]] | ||
239 | Display local directory listing of either path or current | ||
240 | directory if path is not specified. ls-options may contain any | ||
241 | flags supported by the local system's ls(1) command. path may | ||
242 | contain glob(3) characters and may match multiple files. | ||
243 | |||
244 | lmkdir path | ||
245 | Create local directory specified by path. | ||
246 | |||
247 | ln [-s] oldpath newpath | ||
248 | Create a link from oldpath to newpath. If the -s flag is | ||
249 | specified the created link is a symbolic link, otherwise it is a | ||
250 | hard link. | ||
251 | |||
252 | lpwd Print local working directory. | ||
253 | |||
254 | ls [-1afhlnrSt] [path] | ||
255 | Display a remote directory listing of either path or the current | ||
256 | directory if path is not specified. path may contain glob(3) | ||
257 | characters and may match multiple files. | ||
258 | |||
259 | The following flags are recognized and alter the behaviour of ls | ||
260 | accordingly: | ||
261 | |||
262 | -1 Produce single columnar output. | ||
263 | |||
264 | -a List files beginning with a dot (`.'). | ||
265 | |||
266 | -f Do not sort the listing. The default sort order is | ||
267 | lexicographical. | ||
268 | |||
269 | -h When used with a long format option, use unit suffixes: | ||
270 | Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, Petabyte, | ||
271 | and Exabyte in order to reduce the number of digits to | ||
272 | four or fewer using powers of 2 for sizes (K=1024, | ||
273 | M=1048576, etc.). | ||
274 | |||
275 | -l Display additional details including permissions and | ||
276 | ownership information. | ||
277 | |||
278 | -n Produce a long listing with user and group information | ||
279 | presented numerically. | ||
280 | |||
281 | -r Reverse the sort order of the listing. | ||
282 | |||
283 | -S Sort the listing by file size. | ||
284 | |||
285 | -t Sort the listing by last modification time. | ||
286 | |||
287 | lumask umask | ||
288 | Set local umask to umask. | ||
289 | |||
290 | mkdir path | ||
291 | Create remote directory specified by path. | ||
292 | |||
293 | progress | ||
294 | Toggle display of progress meter. | ||
295 | |||
296 | put [-Ppr] local-path [remote-path] | ||
297 | Upload local-path and store it on the remote machine. If the | ||
298 | remote path name is not specified, it is given the same name it | ||
299 | has on the local machine. local-path may contain glob(3) | ||
300 | characters and may match multiple files. If it does and | ||
301 | remote-path is specified, then remote-path must specify a | ||
302 | directory. | ||
303 | |||
304 | If either the -P or -p flag is specified, then full file | ||
305 | permissions and access times are copied too. | ||
306 | |||
307 | If the -r flag is specified then directories will be copied | ||
308 | recursively. Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links when | ||
309 | performing recursive transfers. | ||
310 | |||
311 | pwd Display remote working directory. | ||
312 | |||
313 | quit Quit sftp. | ||
314 | |||
315 | reget [-Ppr] remote-path [local-path] | ||
316 | Resume download of remote-path. Equivalent to get with the -a | ||
317 | flag set. | ||
318 | |||
319 | rename oldpath newpath | ||
320 | Rename remote file from oldpath to newpath. | ||
