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).
