+SFTP is a binary protocol. Unlike for FTP, libcurl interprets SFTP quote
+commands before sending them to the server.  Following is the list of
+all supported SFTP quote commands:
+.RS
+.IP "chgrp group file"
+The chgrp command sets the group ID of the file named by the file operand to the
+group ID specified by the group operand. The group operand is a decimal
+integer group ID.
+.IP "chmod mode file"
+The chmod command modifies the file mode bits of the specified file. The
+mode operand is an octal integer mode number.
+.IP "chown user file"
+The chown command sets the owner of the file named by the file operand to the
+user ID specified by the user operand. The user operand is a decimal
+integer user ID.
+.IP "ln source_file target_file"
+The ln and symlink commands create a symbolic link at the target_file location
+pointing to the source_file location.
+.IP "mkdir directory_name"
+The mkdir command creates the directory named by the directory_name operand.
+.IP "pwd"
+The pwd command returns the absolute pathname of the current working directory.
+.IP "rename source target"
+The rename command renames the file or directory named by the source
+operand to the destination path named by the target operand.
+.IP "rm file"
+The rm command removes the file specified by the file operand.
+.IP "rmdir directory"
+The rmdir command removes the directory entry specified by the directory
+operand, provided it is empty.
+.IP "symlink source_file target_file"
+See ln.
+.RE
 .IP "--random-file <file>"
 (SSL) Specify the path name to file containing what will be considered as
 random data. The data is used to seed the random engine for SSL connections.
