Great Rick, adding the check the problem disappears! Yes, indeed, it is sometime obscure in my file .bashrc, which by the way is rather simple... so simple that the only problem can come from.... bind '"\e[A"':history-search-backward bind '"\e[B"':history-search-forward which is a very useful function to get previous commands... But with the check both sftp and history-search now work! Thank you so much Rick and all the others!
