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.
