+SFTP-SERVER(8) System Manager's Manual SFTP-SERVER(8)
+
+NAME
+ sftp-server M-bM-^@M-^S SFTP server subsystem
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ sftp-server [-ehR] [-d start_directory] [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]
+ [-P blacklisted_requests] [-p whitelisted_requests]
+ [-u umask]
+ sftp-server -Q protocol_feature
+
+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.
+
+ Valid options are:
+
+ -d start_directory
+ specifies an alternate starting directory for users. The
+ pathname may contain the following tokens that are expanded at
+ runtime: %% is replaced by a literal '%', %d is replaced by the
+ home directory of the user being authenticated, and %u is
+ replaced by the username of that user. The default is to use the
+ user's home directory. This option is useful in conjunction with
+ the sshd_config(5) ChrootDirectory option.
+
+ -e Causes sftp-server to print logging information to stderr instead
+ of syslog for debugging.
+
+ -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.
+
+ -h Displays sftp-server usage information.
+
+ -l log_level
+ Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The
+ possible 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 debugging output. The default is ERROR.
+
+ -P blacklisted_requests
+ Specify a comma-separated list of SFTP protocol requests that are
+ banned by the server. sftp-server will reply to any blacklisted
+ request with a failure. The -Q flag can be used to determine the
+ supported request types. If both a blacklist and a whitelist are
+ specified, then the blacklist is applied before the whitelist.
+
+ -p whitelisted_requests
+ Specify a comma-separated list of SFTP protocol requests that are
+ permitted by the server. All request types that are not on the
+ whitelist will be logged and replied to with a failure message.
+
+ Care must be taken when using this feature to ensure that
+ requests made implicitly by SFTP clients are permitted.
+
+ -Q protocol_feature
+ Query protocol features supported by sftp-server. At present the
+ only feature that may be queried is M-bM-^@M-^\requestsM-bM-^@M-^], which may be used
+ for black or whitelisting (flags -P and -p respectively).
+
+ -R Places this instance of sftp-server into a read-only mode.
+ Attempts to open files for writing, as well as other operations
+ that change the state of the filesystem, will be denied.
+
+ -u umask
+ Sets an explicit umask(2) to be applied to newly-created files
+ and directories, instead of the user's default mask.
+
+ On some systems, sftp-server must be able to access /dev/log for logging
+ to work, and use of sftp-server in a chroot configuration therefore
+ requires that syslogd(8) establish a logging socket inside the chroot
+ directory.
