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 v Raise logging level. This option is also passed to ssh. .It Fl C Enables compression (via ssh's .Fl C flag) .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 and pathnames may be enclosed in quotes if they contain spaces. .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 a numeric GID. .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 Xo Ic get .Op Ar flags .Ar remote-path .Op Ar local-path .Xc Retrieve the .Ar remote-path and store it on the local machine. If the local path name is not specified, it is given the same name it has on the remote machine. If the .Fl P flag is specified, then the file's full permission and access time are copied too. .It Ic lls Op Ar ls-options Op Ar path Display local directory listing of either .Ar path or current directory if .Ar path is not specified. .It Ic lmkdir Ar path Create local directory specified by .Ar path . .It Ic lpwd Print local working directory. .It Ic ls Op Ar path Display remote directory listing of either .Ar path or current directory if .Ar path is not specified. .It Ic lumask Ar umask Set local umask to .Ar umask . .It Ic mkdir Ar path Create remote directory specified by .Ar path . .It Xo Ic put .Op Ar flags .Ar local-path .Op Ar local-path .Xc Upload .Ar local-path and store it on the remote machine. If the remote path name is not specified, it is given the same name it has on the local machine. If the .Fl P flag is specified, then the file's full permission and access time are copied too. .It Ic pwd Display remote working directory. .It Ic exit Quit sftp. .It Ic quit Quit sftp. .It Ic rename Ar oldpath Ar newpath Rename remote file from .Ar oldpath to .Ar newpath . .It Ic rmdir Ar path Remove remote directory specified by .Ar path . .It Ic rm Ar path Delete remote file specified by .Ar path . .It Ic !
