SFTPCACHE(1)

NAME
sftpcache - cache sftp connections

SYNOPSIS
sftpcache system

DESCRIPTION
Sftpcache multiplexes clients onto persistent sftp(1) connections. It runs sftp system and posts a socket named system.sftp in the name space directory (see intro(4)). Clients can connect to the socket, one at a time, to interact with the sftp session.

Sftpcache is used by netfiles(1).
