Exactly! The protocol obviously supports this as both sftp and the shell are over the same ssh protocol. That is why I thought that this ability might exist. > PuTTY does exactly that.

I suppose that OpenSSH might be the project to file the feature request to. I'll get on that. > More solutions (sshfs, or just giving up and typing several commands) > have already been posted here. Many workarounds, but the solution seems to be to file a feature request with OpenSSH.
