module Net::SFTP

Net::SFTP is a pure-Ruby module for programmatically interacting with a remote host via the SFTP protocol (that’s SFTP as in “Secure File Transfer Protocol” produced by the Secure Shell Working Group, not “Secure FTP” and certainly not “Simple FTP”).

See Net::SFTP#start for an introduction to the library. Also, see Net::SFTP::Session for further documentation.
