Issues with SFTP

[Whitaker, Kenneth]

	Can verbose become implemented in the next version ?

	The "get *" works ok but need this part to be more useful.

      prompt    Toggle interactive prompting. Interactive  prompt-
               ing occurs during multiple file transfers to allow
               the user to selectively retrieve or  store  files.
               By  default,  prompting is turned on. If prompting
               is turned off, any mget  or  mput   will  transfer
               all files, and any mdelete  will delete all files.


	The ascii is only issue with DOS files anyway.

but the concept of 'ascii' is unknown to the sftp
client, the server and the protocol. despite it's
make sftp has nothing in common with ftp.

someone could steal code from scp and implement this.
