summary: PSFTP batch files (-b option) broken on Windows
class: bug: This is clearly an actual problem we want fixed.
difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them.
priority: high: This should be fixed in the next release.
absent-in: 0.81
present-in: 0.82
fixed-in: ebe2453446b55fe11b154ace45d95b605b9670ff (0.83)

PSFTP's option for accepting batch commands (-b) was broken in 0.82, on Windows specifically.

The symptom is that you'll get the message "Fatal: unable to open" (possibly followed by garbage) after authenticating, and the commands in the batch file you supplied to the -b option won't be run.
