SFTP-SERVER(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SFTP-SERVER(8)
sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem
sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]
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 intend-
ed 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:
-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 pos-
sible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DE-
BUG1, 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.
