Description : pure-Perl implementation of the Secure File
Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
Upstream description:
Net::SFTP is a pure-Perl implementation of the Secure File Transfer
Protocol (SFTP) - file transfer built on top of the SSH2 protocol.
Net::SFTP uses Net::SSH::Perl to build a secure, encrypted tunnel
through which files can be transferred and managed. It provides a subset
of the commands listed in the SSH File Transfer Protocol IETF draft,
which can be found at
http://www.openssh.com/txt/draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-00.txt.
SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol and is a method of
transferring files between machines over a secure, encrypted connection
(as opposed to regular FTP, which functions over an insecure
connection). The security in SFTP comes through its integration with
SSH, which provides an encrypted transport layer over which the SFTP
commands are executed, and over which files can be transferred. The SFTP
protocol defines a client and a server; only the client, not the server,
is implemented in Net::SFTP.
Because it is built upon SSH, SFTP inherits all of the built-in
functionality provided by Net::SSH::Perl: encrypted communications
between client and server, multiple supported authentication methods
(eg. password, public key, etc.).
