System Administration Commands                    sftp-server(1M)



NAME
     sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server [-f logfacility] [-l loglevel]


DESCRIPTION
     sftp-server implements the  server  side  of  the  SH  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 speci-
     fied in the Subsystem declaration.  See  sshdconfig(4)  for
     more information.


     To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the follow-
     ing to /etc/ssh/sshdconfig:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server




     See sshdconfig(4) for a description of the format and  con-
     tents of that file.


     There is no relationship between the protocol used by  sftp-
     server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

     Valid options are listed below. As stated above,  these  are
     to be specified in the Subsystem declation of sshdconfig.
