+#### --sftp-use-fstat
+
+If set use fstat instead of stat
+
+Some servers limit the amount of open files and calling Stat after opening
+the file will throw an error from the server. Setting this flag will call
+Fstat instead of Stat which is called on an already open file handle.
+
+It has been found that this helps with IBM Sterling SFTP servers which have
+"extractability" level set to 1 which means only 1 file can be opened at
+any given time.
