1SFTP-SERVER(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual SFTP-SERVER(8)
2
3NAME
4 sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem
5
6SYNOPSIS
7 sftp-server [-ehR] [-f log_facility] [-l log_level] [-u umask]
8
9DESCRIPTION
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 -e Causes sftp-server to print logging information to stderr instead
21 of syslog for debugging.
22
23 -f log_facility
24 Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages
25 from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH,
26 LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
27 The default is AUTH.
28
29 -h Displays sftp-server usage information.
30
31 -l log_level
32 Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The
33 possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG,
34 DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions
35 that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and
36 DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher
37 levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR.
38
39 -R Places this instance of sftp-server into a read-only mode.
40 Attempts to open files for writing, as well as other operations
41 that change the state of the filesystem, will be denied.
42
43 -u umask
44 Sets an explicit umask(2) to be applied to newly-created files
45 and directories, instead of the user's default mask.
46
47 For logging to work, sftp-server must be able to access /dev/log. Use of
48 sftp-server in a chroot configuration therefore requires that syslogd(8)
49 establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory.
