Remembering to type sftp instead of scp isn't so bad, but file uploads are really hard to work with, I don't think it's possible to get good finger memory for "echo 'put somefile' | sftp hostname:/tmp/" (and it's even worse when copying out multiple files). I'm sure it's already been considered, but from a user perspective it would be very convenient if we could have essentially the command-line interface of scp(1) (with divergence for filename escaping) but using the SFTP protocol. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
