psftp(1) PuTTY tool suite psftp(1)NAMEpsftp - interactive SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) client
SYNOPSISpsftp [options] [user@]host
DESCRIPTIONpsftp 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 speci‐
fied 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.
