i have been getting very frustrated lately since the readline functionality has been removed from MacOSX and Tab Auto-Completion doesn't work anymore.

So i was wondering if anyone knew a good alternative to use that i could install so i can tab auto-complete files when sftp'd in.

I heard that with-readline is a good option for this. If so, how do i get an alias sftp = with-readline sftp to work?

I would like to do the same with any other option that isn't with-readline, so i don't have to assign an alias each time i set up a session.

I am using Mac OS X 10.8(Mountain Lion) with Homebrew installed.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

You could just install the MacPorts openssh port which includes an sftp built with tab completion.

    im using homebrew, i don't want to install macports because those two begin misbehaving, if i'm not mistaken. I should have probably specified that i was running homebrew. Commented Oct 7, 2012 at 7:37
