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. There are no options or config settings.

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.

The following exit values are returned:

0

Successful completion.

>0

An error occurred.

/usr/lib/sftp-server

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

sftp(1), ssh(1), ssh-add(1), ssh-keygen(1), sshd(1M), sshd_config(4), attributes(5)
