The man page implies the correct use at the top:
 sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:dir[/]]]

So sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] works.  Lower down in the file, it also
mentions using options, and it turns out that this works as well:
 sftp -o User=username host.example.com

Hi there,

You can simply enter a command such as:

$ sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheers,
