sftp quesion
 

Hi,

I saw the line in sftp script, what it means by /dev/stdin?


sftp -B /dev/stdin useri@hostname

According to the sftp man page, the -B is for setting buffer size. My guess would be that the line you wrote there would suggest a buffer size equivalent to stdin (though I did not know that stdin was a device).

A lowercase 'b' would tell sftp to read a series of commands from a batchfile, rather than stdin.
