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 compres- | ||
19 | sion. sftp connects and logs into the specified host, then enters an in- | ||
20 | teractive command mode. | ||
21 | |||
22 | The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-inter- | ||
23 | active authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after suc- | ||
24 | cessful 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 authentica- | ||
30 | tion to obviate the need to enter a password at connection time (see | ||
31 | sshd(8) and ssh-keygen(1) for details). The options are as follows: | ||
32 | |||
33 | -1 Specify the use of protocol version 1. | ||
34 | |||
35 | -2 Specify the use of protocol version 2. | ||
36 | |||
37 | -4 Forces sftp to use IPv4 addresses only. | ||
38 | |||
39 | -6 Forces sftp to use IPv6 addresses only. | ||
40 | |||
41 | -B buffer_size | ||
42 | Specify the size of the buffer that sftp uses when transferring | ||
43 | files. Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of | ||
44 | higher memory consumption. The default is 32768 bytes. | ||
45 | |||
46 | -b batchfile | ||
47 | Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile in- | ||
48 | stead of stdin. Since it lacks user interaction it should be | ||
49 | used in conjunction with non-interactive authentication. A | ||
50 | batchfile of `-' may be used to indicate standard input. sftp | ||
51 | will abort if any of the following commands fail: get, put, | ||
52 | rename, ln, rm, mkdir, chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown, chgrp, | ||
53 | lpwd, df, and lmkdir. Termination on error can be suppressed on | ||
54 | a command by command basis by prefixing the command with a `-' | ||
55 | character (for example, -rm /tmp/blah*). | ||
56 | |||
57 | -C Enables compression (via ssh's -C flag). | ||
58 | |||
59 | -c cipher | ||
60 | Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfers. | ||
61 | This option is directly passed to ssh(1). | ||
62 | |||
63 | -D sftp_server_path | ||
64 | Connect directly to a local sftp server (rather than via ssh(1)). | ||
65 | This option may be useful in debugging the client and server. | ||
66 | |||
67 | -F ssh_config | ||
68 | Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh(1). | ||
69 | This option is directly passed to ssh(1). | ||
70 | |||
71 | -i identity_file | ||
72 | Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public | ||
73 | key authentication is read. This option is directly passed to | ||
74 | ssh(1). | ||
75 | |||
76 | -o ssh_option | ||
77 | Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used in | ||
78 | ssh_config(5). This is useful for specifying options for which | ||
79 | there is no separate sftp command-line flag. For example, to | ||
80 | specify an alternate port use: sftp -oPort=24. For full details | ||
81 | of the options listed below, and their possible values, see | ||
82 | ssh_config(5). | ||

132 | |||
133 | -P port | ||
134 | Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. | ||
135 | |||
136 | -p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the | ||
137 | original files transferred. | ||
138 | |||
139 | -q Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and | ||
140 | diagnostic messages from ssh(1). | ||
141 | |||
142 | -R num_requests | ||
143 | Specify how many requests may be outstanding at any one time. | ||
144 | Increasing this may slightly improve file transfer speed but will | ||
145 | increase memory usage. The default is 64 outstanding requests. | ||
146 | |||
147 | -r Recursively copy entire directories when uploading and download- | ||
148 | ing. Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links encountered | ||
149 | in the tree traversal. | ||
150 | |||
151 | -S program | ||
152 | Name of the program to use for the encrypted connection. The | ||
153 | program must understand ssh(1) options. | ||
154 | |||
155 | -s subsystem | sftp_server | ||
156 | Specifies the SSH2 subsystem or the path for an sftp server on | ||
157 | the remote host. A path is useful for using sftp over protocol | ||
158 | version 1, or when the remote sshd(8) does not have an sftp sub- | ||
159 | system configured. | ||
160 | |||
161 | -v Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh. | ||
162 | |||
163 | INTERACTIVE COMMANDS | ||
164 | Once in interactive mode, sftp understands a set of commands similar to | ||
165 | those of ftp(1). Commands are case insensitive. Pathnames that contain | ||
166 | spaces must be enclosed in quotes. Any special characters contained | ||
167 | within pathnames that are recognized by glob(3) must be escaped with | ||
168 | backslashes (`\'). | ||
169 | |||
170 | bye Quit sftp. | ||
171 | |||
172 | cd path | ||
173 | Change remote directory to path. | ||
174 | |||
175 | chgrp grp path | ||
176 | Change group of file path to grp. path may contain glob(3) char- | ||
177 | acters and may match multiple files. grp must be a numeric GID. | ||
178 | |||
179 | chmod mode path | ||
180 | Change permissions of file path to mode. path may contain | ||
181 | glob(3) characters and may match multiple files. | ||
182 | |||
183 | chown own path | ||
184 | Change owner of file path to own. path may contain glob(3) char- | ||
185 | acters and may match multiple files. own must be a numeric UID. | ||
186 | |||
187 | df [-hi] [path] | ||
188 | Display usage information for the filesystem holding the current | ||
189 | directory (or path if specified). If the -h flag is specified, | ||
190 | the capacity information will be displayed using "human-readable" | ||
191 | suffixes. The -i flag requests display of inode information in | ||
192 | addition to capacity information. This command is only supported | ||
193 | on servers that implement the ``statvfs@openssh.com'' extension. | ||
194 | |||
195 | exit Quit sftp. | ||
196 | |||
197 | get [-Ppr] remote-path [local-path] | ||
198 | Retrieve the remote-path and store it on the local machine. If | ||
199 | the local path name is not specified, it is given the same name | ||
200 | it has on the remote machine. remote-path may contain glob(3) | ||
201 | characters and may match multiple files. If it does and local- | ||
202 | path is specified, then local-path must specify a directory. | ||
203 | |||
204 | If either the -P or -p flag is specified, then full file permis- | ||
205 | sions and access times are copied too. | ||
206 | |||
207 | If the -r flag is specified then directories will be copied re- | ||
208 | cursively. Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links when | ||
209 | performing recursive transfers. | ||
210 | |||
211 | help Display help text. | ||
212 | |||
213 | lcd path | ||
214 | Change local directory to path. | ||
215 | |||
216 | lls [ls-options [path]] | ||
217 | Display local directory listing of either path or current direc- | ||
218 | tory if path is not specified. ls-options may contain any flags | ||
219 | supported by the local system's ls(1) command. path may contain | ||
220 | glob(3) characters and may match multiple files. | ||
221 | |||
222 | lmkdir path | ||
223 | Create local directory specified by path. | ||
224 | |||
225 | ln oldpath newpath | ||
226 | Create a symbolic link from oldpath to newpath. | ||

231 | Display a remote directory listing of either path or the current | ||
232 | directory if path is not specified. path may contain glob(3) | ||
233 | characters and may match multiple files. | ||
234 | |||
235 | The following flags are recognized and alter the behaviour of ls | ||
236 | accordingly: | ||
237 | |||
238 | -1 Produce single columnar output. | ||
239 | |||
240 | -a List files beginning with a dot (`.'). | ||
241 | |||
242 | -f Do not sort the listing. The default sort order is lexi- | ||
243 | cographical. | ||
244 | |||
245 | -h When used with a long format option, use unit suffixes: | ||
246 | Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, Petabyte, | ||
247 | and Exabyte in order to reduce the number of digits to | ||
248 | four or fewer using powers of 2 for sizes (K=1024, | ||
249 | M=1048576, etc.). | ||
250 | |||
251 | -l Display additional details including permissions and own- | ||
252 | ership information. | ||
253 | |||
254 | -n Produce a long listing with user and group information | ||
255 | presented numerically. | ||

272 | put [-Ppr] local-path [remote-path] | ||
273 | Upload local-path and store it on the remote machine. If the re- | ||
274 | mote path name is not specified, it is given the same name it has | ||
275 | on the local machine. local-path may contain glob(3) characters | ||
276 | and may match multiple files. If it does and remote-path is | ||
277 | specified, then remote-path must specify a directory. | ||
278 | |||
279 | If ether the -P or -p flag is specified, then full file permis- | ||
280 | sions and access times are copied too. | ||
281 | |||
282 | If the -r flag is specified then directories will be copied re- | ||
283 | cursively. Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links when | ||
284 | performing recursive transfers. | ||
