System Administration Commands - Part 3

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 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

To run sftp-server in a chroot configuration, use internal-sftp instead of /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server. Otherwise, the chroot directory must contain the necessary files and directories to support the user's session. See the ChrootDirectory and Subsystem options in sshd_config(4)) for more information on how sshd and sftp-server work with chroot(2).

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.

For logging to work, sftp-server must be able to access /dev/log. Use of sftp-server in a chroot configuration therefore requires that syslogd(1M) establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory.

Options

Valid options are listed below. As stated above, these options, if used, are specified in the Subsystem declaration 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 equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR.

-u umask

Sets an explicit umask(2) to be applied to newly-created files and directories, instead of the user's default mask.

Exit Status

The following exit values are returned:

0

Successful completion.

>0

An error occurred.

Files

/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

Server-side binary.
