openssh unix dev - Feb 2001 - sftp enhancements

Hello all,

Just tested sftp for the first time.  Looks neat, thanks for the work :-)

However, there's still some stuff to be done before ftp can be thrown into
the garbage bin and never taken out again, for example:

 - file name globbing with e.g. 'get'
 - tab completion with get etc.
 - ability to pass parameters to 'ls', e.g. 'ls -t' (I'm not
sure if the
protocol supports this)
 - [chroot to the homedir after user authentication, server side issue]
 - ...

But still -- now there's a working, free client available which is the
most important thing.

This pretty much mirrors my TODO list:

sftp
 - implement readahead for copies
 - globbed remote ls
 - recursive operations
 - commandline interface
 - fix up error reporting
 - use libedit for history
 - tab-completion (maybe?)
