sftp - secure file transfer program
Apache Mina SSHD:: SFTP License: Apache 2.0: Categories: FTP Clients and Servers: Central (12) AtlassianPkgs (1) Atlassian 3rd-P Old (4). To setup a sftp-only chroot server, set ForceCommand to internal-sftp. You may also set up scp with chroot, by implementing a custom shell that would only allow scp and sftp. The defaults are%programdata%/ssh/sshhostecdsakey,%programdata%/ssh/sshhosted25519key,%programdata%/ssh/sshhostdsakey, and%programdata%/ssh/sshhostrsakey.

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 usemany features of ssh, such as public key authentication and compression. sftp connects and logs into the specified host, then enters aninteractive command mode.
The second usage format will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after successfulinteractive authentication.
The third usage format allows sftp to start in a remote directory.
The final usage format allows for automated sessions using the -b option. In such cases, it is necessary to configure non-interactive authenticationto obviate the need to enter a password at connection time (see sshd(8) and ssh-keygen(1) for details). The options are as follows:
-Bbuffer_sizeSpecify the size of the buffer that sftp uses when transferring files. Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher memoryconsumption. The default is 32768 bytes.
-bbatchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile instead of stdin. Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunctionwith non-interactive authentication. A batchfile of '-' may be used to indicate standard input. sftp will abort if any of the following commandsfail: get, put, rename, ln, rm, mkdir, chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown,chgrp, lpwd, df, 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*).
-C' Enables compression (via ssh's -C flag).
-Fssh_config
Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh(1). This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-ossh_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 sftpcommand-line flag. For example, to specify an alternate port use: sftp -oPort=24. For full details of the options listed below, and their possiblevalues, see ssh_config(5).

-Psftp_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.
-Rnum_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. Thedefault is 64 outstanding requests.
-Sprogram
Name of the program to use for the encrypted connection. The program must understand ssh(1) options.
-ssubsystem | 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 theremote sshd(8) does not have an sftp subsystem configured.
-v' Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh.
Interactive Commands
Once in interactive mode, sftp understands a set of commands similar to those of ftp(1). Commands are case insensitive. Pathnames that contain spacesmust be enclosed in quotes. Any special characters contained within pathnames that are recognized by glob(3) must be escaped with backslashes (').
cdpathChange remote directory to path.
chgrpgrp path
Change group of file path to grp. path may contain glob(3) characters and may match multiple files. grp must be a numeric GID.
chmodmode path
Change permissions of file path to mode. path may contain glob(3) characters and may match multiple files.
chownown path
Change owner of file path to own. path may contain glob(3) characters and may match multiple files. own must be a numeric UID.
df [-hi] [path]
Display usage information for the filesystem holding the current directory (or path if specified). If the -h flag is specified, the capacityinformation will be displayed using 'human-readable' suffixes. The -i flag requests display of inode information in addition to capacity information.This command is only supported on servers that implement the 'statvfs@openssh.com' extension.
exit' Quit sftp.
Openssh Sftp Windows
get [-P] 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 remotemachine. remote-path may contain glob(3) characters and may match multiple files. If it does and local-path is specified, then local-pathmust specify a directory. If the -P flag is specified, then full file permissions and access times are copied too.
help' Display help text.
lcdpath
Change local directory to path.
lls [ls-options [path]]
Display local directory listing of either path or current directory if path is not specified. ls-options may contain any flags supportedby the local system's ls(1) command. path may contain glob(3) characters and may match multiple files.
lmkdirpath
Create local directory specified by path.
lnoldpath newpath
Create a symbolic link from oldpath to newpath.
lpwd' Print local working directory.
ls [-1aflnrSt] [path]
Display a remote directory listing of either path or the current directory if path is not specified. path may contain glob(3) charactersand may match multiple files.
Ssh Sftp File Transfer
The following flags are recognized and alter the behaviour of ls accordingly:
-1' Produce single columnar output.
-a' List files beginning with a dot ('.').
-f' Do not sort the listing. The default sort order is lexicographical.
-l' Display additional details including permissions and ownership information.
-n' Produce a long listing with user and group information presented numerically.
-r' Reverse the sort order of the listing.
-S' Sort the listing by file size.
-t' Sort the listing by last modification time.
lumaskumask
Set local umask to umask.
mkdirpath
Create remote directory specified by path.
progress
Toggle display of progress meter.
put [-P] local-path [remote-path]
Upload local-path and store it on the remote machine. If the remote path name is not specified, it is given the same name it has on the local machine.local-path may contain glob(3) characters and may match multiple files. If it does and remote-path is specified, then remote-path mustspecify a directory. 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.
renameoldpath newpath
Rename remote file from oldpath to newpath.
rmpath
Delete remote file specified by path.
Sshd Sftp Chroot
rmdirpath
Remove remote directory specified by path.
symlinkoldpath newpath
Create a symbolic link from oldpath to newpath.
version
Display the sftp protocol version.
!command
Execute command in local shell.
!' Escape to local shell.
?' Synonym for help.
IPV6
Sshd Sftp
IPv6 address can be used everywhere where IPv4 address. In all entries must be the IPv6 address enclosed in square brackets. Note: The square brackets aremetacharacters for the shell and must be escaped in shell.
