+NAME
+     sftp - secure file transfer program
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     sftp [-vC1] [-b batchfile] [-o ssh_option] [-s subsystem | sftp_server]
+          [-B buffer_size] [-F ssh_config] [-P sftp_server path]
+          [-R num_requests] [-S program] host
+     sftp [[user@]host[:file [file]]]
+     sftp [[user@]host[:dir[/]]]
+     sftp -b batchfile [user@]host
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     sftp is an interactive file transfer program, similar to ftp(1), which
+     performs all operations over an encrypted ssh(1) transport.  It may also
+     use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and compres-
+     sion.  sftp connects and logs into the specified host, then enters an in-
+     teractive command mode.
+
+     The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-inter-
+     active authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after suc-
+     cessful interactive authentication.
+
+     The third usage format allows the sftp client to start in a remote direc-
+     tory.
+
+     The final usage format allows for automated sessions using the -b option.
+     In such cases, it is usually necessary to configure public key authenti-
+     cation to obviate the need to enter a password at connection time (see
+     sshd(8) and ssh-keygen(1) for details).  The options are as follows:
+
+     -b batchfile
+             Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile in-
+             stead of stdin.  Since it lacks user interaction it should be
+             used in conjunction with non-interactive authentication.  sftp
+             will abort if any of the following commands fail: get, put,
+             rename, ln, rm, mkdir, chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown, chgrp,
+             lpwd and lmkdir.  Termination on error can be suppressed on a
+             command by command basis by prefixing the command with a `-'
+             character (for example, -rm /tmp/blah*).
+
+     -o ssh_option
+             Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used in
+             ssh_config(5).  This is useful for specifying options for which
+             there is no separate sftp command-line flag.  For example, to
+             specify an alternate port use: sftp -oPort=24.
+
+     -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(8) does not have an sftp sub-
+             system configured.
+
+     -v      Raise logging level.  This option is also passed to ssh.
+
+     -B buffer_size
+             Specify 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 (via ssh's -C flag).
+
+     -F ssh_config
+             Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh(1).
+             This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
+
+     -P sftp_server path
+             Connect directly to a local sftp server (rather than via ssh(1))
+             This option may be useful in debugging the client and server.
+
+     -R num_requests
+             Specify how many requests may be outstanding at any one time.
+             Increasing this may slightly improve file transfer speed but will
+             increase memory usage.  The default is 16 outstanding requests.
+
+     -S program
+             Name of the program to use for the encrypted connection.  The
+             program must understand ssh(1) options.
+
+     -1      Specify the use of protocol version 1.
+
+INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
+     Once in interactive mode, sftp understands a set of commands similar to
+     those of ftp(1).  Commands are case insensitive and pathnames may be en-
+     closed in quotes if they contain spaces.
+
+     bye     Quit sftp.
+
+     cd path
+             Change remote directory to path.
+
+     lcd path
+             Change local directory to path.
+
+     chgrp grp path
+             Change group of file path to grp.  grp must be a numeric GID.
+
+     chmod mode path
+             Change permissions of file path to mode.
+
+     chown own path
+             Change owner of file path to own.  own must be a numeric UID.
+
+     exit    Quit sftp.
+
+     get [flags] remote-path [local-path]
+             Retrieve the remote-path and store 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.
+
+     help    Display help text.
+
+     lls [ls-options [path]]
+             Display local directory listing of either path or current direc-
+             tory if path is not specified.
+
+     lmkdir path
+             Create local directory specified by path.
+
+     ln oldpath newpath
+             Create a symbolic link from oldpath to newpath.
+
+     lpwd    Print local working directory.
+
+     ls [flags] [path]
+             Display remote directory listing of either path or current direc-
+             tory if path is not specified.  If the -l flag is specified, then
+             display additional details including permissions and ownership
+             information.
+
+     lumask umask
+             Set local umask to umask.

+     mkdir path
+             Create remote directory specified by path.
+
+     progress
+             Toggle display of progress meter.
+
+     put [flags] local-path [remote-path]
+             Upload local-path and store it on the remote machine.  If the re-
+             mote path name is not specified, it is given the same name it has
+             on the local machine.  If the -P flag is specified, then the
+             file's full permission and access time are copied too.
+
+     pwd     Display remote working directory.
+
+     quit    Quit sftp.
