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.
