It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and compression. .Nm connects and logs into the specified .Ar hostname then enters an interactive command mode. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl C Enables compression (via ssh's .Fl C flag) .It Fl v Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh. .It Fl o Ar ssh_option Specify an option to be directly passed to .Xr ssh 1 . .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. .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic CD Ar path Change remote directory to .Ar path .It Ic LCD Ar path Change local directory to .Ar path .It Ic CHGRP Ar grp Ar path Change group of file .Ar path to .Ar grp . .Ar grp must be numeric. .It Ic CHMOD Ar mode Ar path Change permissions of file .Ar path to .Ar mode .It Ic CHOWN Ar own Ar path Change owner of file .Ar path to .Ar own . .Ar own must be a numeric UID. .It Ic HELP Display help text .It Ic GET Ar remote-file Op Ar local-file Retrieve the .Ar remote-file and store it on the local machine.
