SFTPCACHE(1)                                         SFTPCACHE(1)

     NAME
          sftpcache - cache sftp connections

     SYNOPSIS
          sftpcache system

     DESCRIPTION
          Sftpcache multiplexes clients onto persistent sftp(1) con-
          nections.  It runs sftp system and posts a socket named
          system.sftp in the name space directory (see intro(4)).
          Clients can connect to the socket, one at a time, to inter-
          act with the sftp session.

          Sftpcache is used by netfiles(1).

     BUGS
          Sftpcache only works with OpenSSH versions 4.3 and earlier;
          later versions do not print the sftp> prompt frequently
          enough.
