sftp-server

sftp-server(1M) 					  System Administration Commands					   sftp-server(1M)

NAME

       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server  is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsys-
       tem declaration. See sshd_config(4) for more information.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

	 Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

OPTIONS

       Valid options are listed below. As stated above, these are to be specified in the Subsystem declation of sshd_config.

       -f log_facility

	   Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER,  AUTH,  LOCAL0,
	   LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default is AUTH.

       -l log_level

	   Specifies  which  messages  will  be logged by sftp-server. The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1,
	   DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and DEBUG1  are  equiva-
	   lent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0     Successful completion.

       >0    An error occurred.

FILES

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server    Server-side binary.
