After my article SSH - Launch a terminal on your session without having to authenticate yourself, it was obvious that, next to the ssh and scp commands, I forgot the sftp one.

In this article, we'll explore how to start a SFTP connection to a remote server; from the command line.

In the second section, we'll also learn how to configure the sftp connection to use a proxy server.

Imagine that you regularly need to connect to your Linux server: you need to launch a tool such as Putty, you need to enter your login, password, etc. and carry out various operations before you can access the terminal.

If your password isn't saved in Putty's configuration, you'll have to launch another tool like a password vault; in short, it's annoying.

In this article, we'll look at how to authenticate once and for all on the server using an SSH key.
