psftp(1)                       PuTTY tool suite                       psftp(1)

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.

       -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.

       -C     Enable SSH compression.

       -i path
              Private key file for user authentication.

       -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.

COMMANDS
       For a list of commands available inside psftp, type help at the psftp>
       prompt.
