SFTP-SERVER(1M)						       SFTP-SERVER(1M)

NAME
       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 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.

OPTIONS
       Valid options are listed below. As stated above, these are to be speci‐
       fied in the Subsystem declation 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 possi‐
	   ble 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 debug‐
	   ging output. The default is ERROR.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0
	     Successful completion.

       >0
	     An error occurred.

FILES
       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
				   Server-side binary.
