Passive sftp?

Subject: Passive sftp?
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:40:00 -0600
I've heard of passive ftp but this is new to me. I searched the Web for
'passive sftp' and got 32 hits total of which only a few applied and none of which explained anything.


Is there such a thing?  If so, what are it's features and
characteristics?  The comment came from a vendor in the context of
"keeps sftp from prompting for a password" which I had associated with
user keys.  Is the vendor confused or do they know something I don't?

Thanks for any and all replies.
