Description: ssh-tunneled file transfer program
sftp is an ftp replacement that runs over an ssh tunnel. Two programs
are included - sftp and sftpserv. When sftp is run and a host is
connected to (either by running 'sftp remotehost' or 'open remotehost'
from the sftp prompt), an ssh connection is initiated to the remote
host, and sftpserv is run.
.
From within sftp, all of the normal ftp commands are present. There
are too many to list here.
