Sftp - tab completion

Q&A
1

Hi,
Has anyone managed to enable “tab completion” for sftp ?

sftp -oPort=222 test@10.10.10.10
sftp> ls -all
drwxr-xr-x 1 213 1 4096 May 02 18:54 TEST_DIR
-rwxr-xr-x 1 213 1 623945 Feb 12 18:06 DIR
sftp> cd TE

after TE if I press “TAB” button it does nothing.

Maybe it’s because it’s not compiled with libedit

Thanks,
Saw similar cases in the web but just wanted to make sure that there is no some “workaround” for ClearLinux.
Will log enhancement request.
