I cannot get sftp get command to rename the file i am downloading

get file1.txt file2.txt


simply downloads file1.txt without any complaints. It does not rename the file. Nothing in the logs acknowledges the second parameter. Whats going on?



SFTP version: sftp: Tectia Client 6.3.11 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

          The syntax that you are using would work with OpenSSH sftp (and other SFTP clients like WinSCP).





          But Tectia sftpg3 documentation does not indicate that it supports "target" filename parameter for the get command (nor any other way to rename the downloaded file):




          get [-p, --preserve-attributes] [-u, --unlink-source] [-I, --interactive] [--overwrite] [--checksum] [-W, --whole-file] [--checkpoint] [--streaming] [--force-lower-case] [--prefix] [--statistics] [--summary-display] [--summary-format] [--progress-display] [--progress-line-format] [--progress-line-interval] [--max-depth=] file...






          Though, it has sget command that does what you want:




          sget [options...] srcfile [dstfile]
