+sftp support
+-----------------------
+
+wolfSSH provides server and client side support for SFTP version 3. This
+allows the user to set up an encrypted connection for managing file systems.
+
+To compile wolfSSH with SFTP support, use the `--enable-sftp` build option or
+define `WOLFSSH_SFTP`:
+
+$ ./configure --enable-sftp
+$ make
+
+For full API usage and implementation details, please see the wolfSSH User
+Manual.
+
+The SFTP client created is located in the directory wolfsftp/client/ and the
+server is ran using the same echoserver as with wolfSSH.
+
+src/wolfssh$ ./wolfsftp/client/wolfsftp
+
+A full list of supported commands can be seen with typeing "help" after a
