+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a file transfer program, similar to
+.Xr ftp 1 ,
+which performs all operations over an encrypted
+.Xr ssh 1
+transport.
+It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and
+compression.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar destination
+may be specified either as
+.Sm off
+.Oo user @ Oc host Op : path
+.Sm on
+or as a URI in the form
+.Sm off
+.No sftp:// Oo user @ Oc host Oo : port Oc Op / path .
+.Sm on
+.Pp
+If the
+.Ar destination
+includes a
+.Ar path
+and it is not a directory,
+.Nm
+will retrieve files automatically if a non-interactive
+authentication method is used; otherwise it will do so after
+successful interactive authentication.
+.Pp
+If no
+.Ar path
+is specified, or if the
+.Ar path
+is a directory,
+.Nm
+will log in to the specified
+.Ar host
+and enter interactive command mode, changing to the remote directory
+if one was specified.
+An optional trailing slash can be used to force the
+.Ar path
+to be interpreted as a directory.
+.Pp
+Since the destination formats use colon characters to delimit host
+names from path names or port numbers, IPv6 addresses must be
+enclosed in square brackets to avoid ambiguity.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl 4
+Forces
+.Nm
+to use IPv4 addresses only.
+.It Fl 6
+Forces
+.Nm
+to use IPv6 addresses only.
+.It Fl A
+Allows forwarding of
+.Xr ssh-agent 1
+to the remote system.
+The default is not to forward an authentication agent.
+.It Fl a
+Attempt to continue interrupted transfers rather than overwriting
+existing partial or complete copies of files.
+If the partial contents differ from those being transferred,
+then the resultant file is likely to be corrupt.
+.It Fl B Ar buffer_size
+Specify the size of the buffer that
+.Nm
+uses when transferring files.
+Larger buffers require fewer round trips at the cost of higher
+memory consumption.
+The default is 32768 bytes.
+.It Fl b Ar batchfile
+Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input
+.Ar batchfile
+instead of
+.Em stdin .
+Since it lacks user interaction, it should be used in conjunction with
+non-interactive authentication to obviate the need to enter a password
+at connection time (see
+.Xr sshd 8
+and
+.Xr ssh-keygen 1
+for details).
+.Pp
+A
+.Ar batchfile
+of
+.Sq \-
+may be used to indicate standard input.
+.Nm
+will abort if any of the following
+commands fail:
+.Ic get , put , reget , reput , rename , ln ,
+.Ic rm , mkdir , chdir , ls ,
+.Ic lchdir , copy , cp , chmod , chown ,
+.Ic chgrp , lpwd , df , symlink ,
+and
+.Ic lmkdir .
+.Pp
+Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by
+prefixing the command with a
+.Sq \-
+character (for example,
+.Ic -rm /tmp/blah* ) .
+Echo of the command may be suppressed by prefixing the command with a
+.Sq @
+character.
+These two prefixes may be combined in any order, for example
+.Ic -@ls /bsd .
+.It Fl C
+Enables compression (via ssh's
+.Fl C
+flag).
+.It Fl c Ar cipher
+Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfers.
+This option is directly passed to
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl D Ar sftp_server_command
+Connect directly to a local sftp server
+(rather than via
+.Xr ssh 1 ) .
+A command and arguments may be specified, for example
+.Qq /path/sftp-server -el debug3 .
+This option may be useful in debugging the client and server.
+.It Fl F Ar ssh_config
+Specifies an alternative
+per-user configuration file for
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+This option is directly passed to
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl f
+Requests that files be flushed to disk immediately after transfer.
+When uploading files, this feature is only enabled if the server
+implements the "fsync@openssh.com" extension.
+.It Fl i Ar identity_file
+Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key
+authentication is read.
+This option is directly passed to
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl J Ar destination
+Connect to the target host by first making an
+.Nm
+connection to the jump host described by
+.Ar destination
+and then establishing a TCP forwarding to the ultimate destination from
+there.
+Multiple jump hops may be specified separated by comma characters.
+This is a shortcut to specify a
+.Cm ProxyJump
+configuration directive.
+This option is directly passed to
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl l Ar limit
+Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
+.It Fl N
+Disables quiet mode, e.g. to override the implicit quiet mode set by the
+.Fl b
+flag.
+.It Fl o Ar ssh_option
+Can be used to pass options to
+.Nm ssh
+in the format used in
+.Xr ssh_config 5 .
+This is useful for specifying options
+for which there is no separate
+.Nm sftp
+command-line flag.
+For example, to specify an alternate port use:
+.Ic sftp -oPort=24 .
+For full details of the options listed below, and their possible values, see
+.Xr ssh_config 5 .

+.El
+.It Fl P Ar port

+.It Fl p
+Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
+original files transferred.
+.It Fl q
+Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and
+diagnostic messages from
+.Xr ssh 1 .
+.It Fl R Ar 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 64 outstanding requests.
+.It Fl r
+Recursively copy entire directories when uploading and downloading.
+Note that
+.Nm
+does not follow symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
+.It Fl S Ar program
+Name of the

+to use for the encrypted connection.
+The program must understand

+options.
+.It Fl s Ar subsystem | sftp_server
+Specifies the SSH2 subsystem or the path for an sftp server
+on the remote host.
+A path is useful when the remote
+.Xr sshd 8
+does not have an sftp subsystem configured.
+.It Fl v
+Raise logging level.
+This option is also passed to ssh.
+.It Fl X Ar sftp_option
+Specify an option that controls aspects of SFTP protocol behaviour.
+The valid options are:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Cm nrequests Ns = Ns Ar value
+Controls how many concurrent SFTP read or write requests may be in progress
+at any point in time during a download or upload.
+By default 64 requests may be active concurrently.
+.It Cm buffer Ns = Ns Ar value
+Controls the maximum buffer size for a single SFTP read/write operation used
+during download or upload.
+By default a 32KB buffer is used.
+.El

+.Sh INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
+Once in interactive mode,
+.Nm
+understands a set of commands similar to those of
+.Xr ftp 1 .
+Commands are case insensitive.
+Pathnames that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotes.
+Any special characters contained within pathnames that are recognized by
+.Xr glob 3
+must be escaped with backslashes
