\C{psftp} Using PSFTP to transfer files securely
@ -49,45 +49,13 @@ any server:
At this point you can type \c{open server.example.com} or \c{open
fred@server.example.com} to start a session.
The following sections describe PSFTP's command-line options.
PSFTP accepts all the general command line options supported by the
PuTTY tools, except the ones which make no sense in a file transfer
utility. See \k{using-general-opts} for a description of these
options. (The ones not supported by PSFTP are clearly marked.)
\S{psftp-option-l} \c{-l}: specify a user name
The \c{-l} option is an alternative way to specify the user name to
log in as, on the command line. Instead of typing \c{psftp
user@host}, you can also type \c{psftp host -l user}.
This option does not work in the \c{open} command once PSFTP has
started.
\S{psftp-option-P} \c{-P}: specify a port number
If the \c{host} you specify is a saved session, PSFTP uses any port
number specified in that saved session. If not, PSFTP uses the
default SSH port, 22. The \c{-P} option allows you specify the port
number to connect to for PSFTP's SSH connection.
\S{psftp-option-v}\c{-v}: show verbose messages
The \c{-v} option to PSFTP makes it print verbose information about
the establishing of the SSH connection. The information displayed is
equivalent to what is shown in the PuTTY Event Log
(\k{using-eventlog}).
This information may be useful for debugging problems with PSFTP.
\S{psftp-option-pw} \c{-pw}: specify a password
If a password is required to connect to the \c{host}, PSFTP will
interactively prompt you for it. However, this may not always be
appropriate. If you are running PSFTP as part of some automated
job, it will not be possible to enter a password by hand. The
\c{-pw} option to PSFTP lets you specify the password to use on the
command line.
Since specifying passwords in scripts is a bad idea for security
reasons, you might want instead to consider using public-key
authentication; see \k{psftp-pubkey}.
PSFTP also supports some of its own options. The following sections
describe PSFTP's specific command-line options.
\S{psftp-option-b} \c{-b}: specify a file containing batch commands
