SFTP-SERVER(8)SFTP-SERVER(8)NAME
sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem
SYNOPSIS
sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]
DESCRIPTION
sftp-server is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol
to stdout and expects client requests from stdin. sftp-server is not
intended to be called directly, but from sshd(8) using the Subsystem
option.
Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsystem
declaration. See sshd_config(5) for more information. The administra‐
tor may exert control over the file and directory permission and owner‐
ship, with SftpUmask , SftpPermitChmod , and SftpPermitChown sshd_con‐
fig (5) for more information.
Valid options are:
-f log_facility
Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages
from . 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 . The possible val‐
ues 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 equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of
debugging output. The default is ERROR.
For logging to work, sftp-server must be able to access
/dev/log. Use of sftp-server in a chroot configuation therefore
requires that syslogd (8) establish a logging socket inside the
chroot directory.
