Issues with SFTP

[Whitaker, Kenneth]

Hey, Thanks for the fast response.


     ascii     Set the "representation type" to "network  ASCII".
  
     binary    Set the "representation type" to "image".

   verbose   Toggle  verbose  mode.  In   verbose   mode,   all
               responses from the FTP server are displayed to the
               user. In addition, if verbose mode is on,  when  a
               file  transfer completes, statistics regarding the
               efficiency  of  the  transfer  are  reported.   By
               default, verbose mode is on if ftp 's commands are
               coming from a terminal, and off otherwise.

this is a problem with your setup. don't blame sftp.

what is "ascii" ?

sftp is a unix tool, so it usually cries only on errors.

use get * or put *
