Using SFTP and SCP in Windows

SCP is deprecated so let's start with SFTP:

I hereby claim:

To claim this, I am signing this object:

	#!/usr/bin/env python3

	# Simple script to enter the necessary boot mode in the MT6572-based (etc) phones
	# Depends on pyserial, otherwise fully cross-platform

	# Usage: python3 mtk-bootseq.py [MODECMD] [port]
	# e.g. python3 mtk-bootseq.py FASTBOOT /dev/tty.usbmodem14200
	# and then connect the cable and repeatedly short-press the power on key

	# Supported commands depend on the device and its preloader. Here's the list for Sigma S3500 sKai:

	1. Create VMDK mimic layout of real HDD.

	Slices were readable but raw disk wasn't in macos, so I just wrote down all the "diskutil info disk0s1"
	info and converted 4096-byte-sectors to 512 by multiplying by 8. Also I offset disk0s1 by 1 sector.
	This allowed me to copy the first sector and manually edit the Bytes/sector, Sector/Cluster, Hidden Sectors,
	and Total Sectors in the NTFS BPB. Windows sees it as a RAW partition otherwise, even though Linux has no
	problem figuring it out. Finally I recreated the blank space at the end as a writable area since the
	alternate GPT is stored there.
