Chances are you??™ll want to use sftp in interactive mode. Enter the IP address or remote
hostname with the command to access the remote machine:
sftp
sftp docs.protek.edu
By default, the remote machine will recognize you as the current user on your machine. If
you have a different username on the remote machine, use the command a little differently:
sftp mmccall@docs.protek.edu
It will now connect to docs.protek.edu and identify you with the new username.
sshd is usually configured to run on port 22, and this is where sftp tries to connect by
default. Some servers can be configured to listen on a different port number, and you can
specify that port using the -o switch:
sftp -oPort2221 mmccall@docs.protek.edu
CHAPTER 17 Secure File Transfer 360
Choosing a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Client 361
Now you are connected and see a command prompt on the remote machine. To see
exactly what commands are available, type help or a question mark (?) at the prompt.
Proceed with your session and quit at the end.
