+  # The Session class encapsulates a single SFTP channel on a Net::SSH
+  # connection. Instances of this class are what most applications will
+  # interact with most, as it provides access to both low-level (mkdir,
+  # rename, remove, symlink, etc.) and high-level (upload, download, etc.)
+  # SFTP operations.
+  #
+  # Although Session makes it easy to do SFTP operations serially, you can
+  # also set up multiple operations to be done in parallel, too, without
+  # needing to resort to threading. You merely need to fire off the requests,
+  # and then run the event loop until all of the requests have completed:
+  #
+  #   handle1 = sftp.open!("/path/to/file1")
+  #   handle2 = sftp.open!("/path/to/file2")
+  #
+  #   r1 = sftp.read(handle1, 0, 1024)
+  #   r2 = sftp.read(handle2, 0, 1024)
+  #   sftp.loop { [r1, r2].any? { |r| r.pending? } }
+  #
+  #   puts "chunk #1: #{r1.response[:data]}"
+  #   puts "chunk #2: #{r2.response[:data]}"
+  #
+  # By passing blocks to the operations, you can set up powerful state
+  # machines, to fire off subsequent operations. In fact, the Net::SFTP::Operations::Upload
+  # and Net::SFTP::Operations::Download classes set up such state machines, so that
+  # multiple uploads and/or downloads can be running simultaneously.
+  #
+  # The convention with the names of the operations is as follows: if the method
+  # name ends with an exclamation mark, like #read!, it will be synchronous
+  # (e.g., it will block until the server responds). Methods without an
+  # exclamation mark (e.g. #read) are asynchronous, and return before the
+  # server has responded. You will need to make sure the SSH event loop is
+  # run in order to process these requests. (See #loop.)
