sftp-server(1M) System Administration Commands sftp-server(1M)NAMEsftp-server - SFTP server subsystem
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]
DESCRIPTIONsftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Proto‐
col 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 Subsystem
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.
