+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sftp-server
+.Nd OpenSSH SFTP server subsystem
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm sftp-server
+.Bk -words
+.Op Fl ehR
+.Op Fl d Ar start_directory
+.Op Fl f Ar log_facility
+.Op Fl l Ar log_level
+.Op Fl P Ar denied_requests
+.Op Fl p Ar allowed_requests
+.Op Fl u Ar umask
+.Ek
+.Nm
+.Fl Q Ar protocol_feature
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol
+to stdout and expects client requests from stdin.
+.Nm
+is not intended to be called directly, but from
+.Xr sshd 8
+using the
+.Cm Subsystem
+option.
+.Pp
+Command-line flags to
+.Nm
+should be specified in the
+.Cm Subsystem
+declaration.
+See
+.Xr sshd_config 5
+for more information.
+.Pp
+Valid options are:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl d Ar 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
+.Xr sshd_config 5
+.Cm ChrootDirectory
+option.
+.It Fl e
+Causes
+.Nm
+to print logging information to stderr instead of syslog for debugging.
+.It Fl f Ar log_facility
+Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from
+.Nm .
+The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2,
+LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
+The default is AUTH.
+.It Fl h
+Displays
+.Nm
+usage information.
+.It Fl l Ar log_level
+Specifies which messages will be logged by
+.Nm .
+The possible values are:
+QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3.
+INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that
+.Nm
+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.
+.It Fl P Ar denied_requests
+Specifies a comma-separated list of SFTP protocol requests that are banned by
+the server.
+.Nm
+will reply to any denied request with a failure.
+The
+.Fl Q
+flag can be used to determine the supported request types.
+If both denied and allowed lists are specified, then the denied list is
+applied before the allowed list.
+.It Fl p Ar allowed_requests
+Specifies a comma-separated list of SFTP protocol requests that are permitted
+by the server.
+All request types that are not on the allowed list will be logged and replied
+to with a failure message.
+.Pp
+Care must be taken when using this feature to ensure that requests made
+implicitly by SFTP clients are permitted.
+.It Fl Q Ar protocol_feature
+Queries protocol features supported by
+.Nm .
+At present the only feature that may be queried is
+.Dq requests ,
+which may be used to deny or allow specific requests (flags
+.Fl P
+and
+.Fl p
+respectively).
+.It Fl R
+Places this instance of
+.Nm
+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.
+.It Fl u Ar umask
+Sets an explicit
+.Xr umask 2
+to be applied to newly-created files and directories, instead of the
+user's default mask.
+.El
+.Pp
+On some systems,
+.Nm
+must be able to access
+.Pa /dev/log
+for logging to work, and use of
+.Nm
+in a chroot configuration therefore requires that
+.Xr syslogd 8
+establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory.
