DESCRIPTION

13       sftp-server  implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Proto‐
14       col as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.
15
16
17       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be  run  directly.
18       Command-line  flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsystem
19       declaration. See sshd_config(4) for more information.
20
21
22       To enable the sftp-server subsystem  for  sshd  add  the  following  to
23       /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
24
25         Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

30       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that
31       file.
32
33
34       There is no relationship between the protocol used by  sftp-server  and
35       the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

OPTIONS

38       Valid options are listed below. As stated above, these are to be speci‐
39       fied in the Subsystem declation of sshd_config.
40
41       -f log_facility
42
43           Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from
44           sftp-server.  The  possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0,
45           LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default
46           is AUTH.

53           DEBUG2,  and  DEBUG3.  INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-
54           server performs on behalf of  the  client.  DEBUG  and  DEBUG1  are
55           equivalent.  DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debug‐
