### About command
SFTP supports the [about](/commands/rclone_about/) command if the
same login has access to a Unix shell, where the `df` command is
available (e.g. in the remote's PATH). `about` will return the
total space, free space, and used space on the remote for the disk
of the specified path on the remote or, if not set, the disk of
the root on the remote. `about` will fail if it does not have
shell access or if `df` is not found.
The `about` command returns the total space, free space, and used
space on the remote for the disk of the specified path on the remote or,
if not set, the disk of the root on the remote.
If the server shell is PowerShell, probably with a Windows OpenSSH
server, rclone supports `about` using a built-in shell command
(see [shell access](#shell-access)).
SFTP usually supports the [about](/commands/rclone_about/) command, but
it depends on the server. If the server implements the vendor-specific
VFS statistics extension, which is normally the case with OpenSSH instances,
it will be used. If not, but the same login has access to a Unix shell,
where the `df` command is available (e.g. in the remote's PATH), then
this will be used instead. If the server shell is PowerShell, probably
with a Windows OpenSSH server, rclone will use a built-in shell command
(see [shell access](#shell-access)). If none of the above is applicable,
`about` will fail.
