SFTP-SERVER(8)							SFTP-SERVER(8)

NAME
       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS
       sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]

DESCRIPTION
       sftp-server  is	a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol
       to stdout and expects client requests from stdin.  sftp-server  is  not
       intended	 to  be	 called directly, but from sshd(8) using the Subsystem
       option.

       Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the  Subsystem
       declaration.  See sshd_config(5) for more information.  The administra‐
       tor may exert control over the file and directory permission and owner‐
       ship,  with SftpUmask , SftpPermitChmod , and SftpPermitChown sshd_con‐
       fig (5) for more information.

       Valid options are:

       -f log_facility
	      Specifies the facility code that is used when  logging  messages
	      from  .	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 .  The possible val‐
	      ues 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.

	      For  logging  to	work,  sftp-server  must  be  able  to	access
	      /dev/log.	 Use of sftp-server in a chroot configuation therefore
	      requires that syslogd (8) establish a logging socket inside  the
	      chroot directory.
