NAME

4     sftp-server — SFTP server subsystem
5

SYNOPSIS

7     sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     sftp-server is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol to
11     stdout and expects client requests from stdin.  sftp-server is not
12     intended to be called directly, but from sshd(8) using the Subsystem
13     option.
14
15     Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsystem
16     declaration.  See sshd_config(5) for more information.
17
18     Valid options are:
19
20     -f log_facility
21             Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages
22             from sftp-server.  The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH,
23             LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
24             The default is AUTH.
25
26     -l log_level
27             Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server.  The pos‐
28             sible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG,
29             DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3.  INFO and VERBOSE log transactions
30             that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client.  DEBUG and
31             DEBUG1 are equivalent.  DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher
32             levels of debugging output.  The default is ERROR.
