NAME

       secsh - the Secure Shell protocol

DESCRIPTION

       secsh  is  a  protocol suite for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. It is outlined in [SECSH].
       It has three major components:

       The Transport layer protocol
	      This protocol, specified in [SECSH-TLP], provides  server  authentication,  confidentiality,  and  integrity  with  perfect  forward
	      secrecy.

       The User authentication protocol
	      This protocol, specified in [SECSH-AUTH], is used to authenticate a client to a server.

       The Connection protocol
	      This protocol, specified in [SECSH-CONN], multiplexes an encrypted tunnel into several logical channels.

IMPLEMENTATIONS

       Several implementations of the secsh protocol suite exist.

       The SSH2 product of SSH Communications Security Ltd., Finland <URL:http://www.ssh.fi> was the first. The secsh protocol suite has benefited
       a lot from their experience with their older SSH1 product, which is still in widespread use; it implements an older protocol ([SSH1]).

       The lsh suite of programs is a free implementation of the secsh protocol suite; it is distributed under the GNU General Public License.

sftp-server(1M)                                           System Administration Commands                                           sftp-server(1M)

NAME

       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       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.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       >0       An error occurred.
