NAME

       psftp - interactive SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) client

SYNOPSIS

       psftp [options] [user@]host

DESCRIPTION

       psftp  is  an  interactive text-based client for the SSH-based SFTP (secure file transfer)
       protocol.

OPTIONS

       The command-line options supported by psftp are:

       -V     Show version information and exit.

       -pgpfp Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit, to aid in verifying
              new files released by the PuTTY team.

       -b batchfile
              Use specified batchfile.

       -bc    Output batchfile commands.

       -be    Don't stop batchfile processing on errors.

       -v     Show verbose messages.

       -load session
              Load settings from saved session.

       -P port
              Connect to port port.

       -proxycmd command
              Instead of making a TCP connection, use command as a proxy; network traffic will be
              redirected to the standard input and output of command. command must  be  a  single
              word, so is likely to need quoting by the shell.

              The special strings %host and %port in command will be replaced by the hostname and
              port number you want to connect to; to get a literal % sign, enter %%.

              Backslash escapes are also supported, such as sequences like \n being replaced by a
              literal  newline;  to  get  a literal backslash, enter \\. (Further escaping may be
              required by the shell.)

              (See the main PuTTY manual for full details of  the  supported  %-  and  backslash-
              delimited  tokens,  although  most  of  them  are  probably not very useful in this
              context.)

       -l user
              Set remote username to user.

       -batch Disable interactive prompts.

       -pw password
              Set remote password to password.  CAUTION:  this  will  likely  make  the  password
              visible to other users of the local machine (via commands such as `w').

       -1     Force use of SSH protocol version 1.

       -2     Force use of SSH protocol version 2.

       -4, -6 Force use of IPv4 or IPv6 for network connections.

       -C     Enable SSH compression.

       -i keyfile
              Private  key file for user authentication. For SSH-2 keys, this key file must be in
              PuTTY's PPK format, not OpenSSH's format or anyone else's.

              If you are using an authentication agent, you can also specify a  public  key  here
              (in RFC 4716 or OpenSSH format), to identify which of the agent's keys to use.

       -noagent
              Don't try to use an authentication agent.

       -agent Allow  use of an authentication agent. (This option is only necessary to override a
              setting in a saved session.)

       -hostkey key
              Specify an acceptable host public key. This option may be specified multiple times;
              each  key  can  be  either a fingerprint (99:aa:bb:...) or a base64-encoded blob in
              OpenSSH's one-line format.

              Specifying this option overrides automated host key  management;  only  the  key(s)
              specified  on  the  command-line  will  be  accepted  (unless  a saved session also
              overrides host keys, in which case those will be added to), and the host key  cache
              will not be written.

       -sshlog logfile

       -sshrawlog logfile
              These  options  make  psftp  log  protocol details to a file. (Some of these may be
              sensitive, although by default an effort is made to suppress obvious passwords.)

              -sshlog logs decoded SSH packets and other events  (those  that  -v  would  print).
              -sshrawlog additionally logs the raw encrypted packet data.
