Hello,

I apologize if this isn't the right place to post about the Google
Summer of Code; if so, I would appreciate guidance toward the correct
list.

If this is the correct list, I would appreciate answers to the message
below.

Thanks.

Damien,

I am a student at Webster university, and I am interested in
participating the the Summer of Code this year.

I noticed your project idea regarding renovating sftp to improve its
command-line interface. Can you tell me more about this? For this
project, I assume you have certain key features in mind besides
recursive uploads/downloads via the command-line interface.

In addition, by "command-line interface", I assume you mean the "sftp"
command line and not the shell in which we enter when we run sftp,
correct?

Also, I'm curious about the rationale for this. Why beef up sftp to
handle this if scp already takes care of it? Do you envision cases in
which scp is available but sftp is not?

Thanks,
Jawaad
