Hello. I would like to ask if there are plans to implement the "-l" option available in ssh(1) on the secure file transfer program sftp(1).
It is certainly better using the "sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]" syntax, but sometimes I miss the "user@" part on the command line when the login name on the remote system is different to the one I am using locally. I usually fix this mistake by typing "-l username" instead of editing the command line using a sort of symmetry with the ssh(1) command... of course it fails! In my humble opinion, adding this option to sftp(1) will make the secure file transfer program a bit more friendly for people accustomed to the "-l" option in ssh(1). I think that this option is not being currently used in sftp(1), but perhaps it is reserved for future use or there are other reasons for not implementing it. Just a though, Igor.
