The interface, apart from knowing it's secure I don't really care how it
makes it secure.
With ncFTP I'm used to bookmarks, tab completion and a command history
similar to bashes etc.
Maybe these things are available with sftp and I've simply not turned
them on, but I could see nothing on the web page nor in the man page.
Please let in on the secret if you know. ;)
