locutus:/usr/src# apt-cache show sftp Package: sftp Priority: optional Section: non-US Installed-Size: 56 Maintainer: Gergely Madarasz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.9.5-1 Depends: ssh, libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libncurses5, libreadline4 (>= 4.1) Filename: dists/woody/non-US/main/binary-i386/sftp_0.9.5-1.deb Size: 22170 MD5sum: 88bab0ade1a5d87b5c0f24f50990aa22 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.
