subsystem_spec(Options) -> subsystem_spec() Types Options = [{Option, Value}] Should be used together with ssh:daemon/[1,2,3] Options are: {cwd, String} : Sets the initial current working directory for the server. {file_handler, CallbackModule} : Determines which module to call for communicating with the file server. Default value is ssh_sftpd_file that uses the file and filelib API:s to access the standard OTP file server. This option may be used to plug in the use of other file servers. {max_files, Integer} : The default value is 0 , which means that there is no upper limit. If supplied, the number of filenames returned to the sftp client per READDIR request, is limited to at most the given value. {root, String} : Sets the sftp root directory. The user will then not be able to see any files above this root. If for instance the root is set to /tmp the user will see this directory as / and if the user does cd /etc the user will end up in /tmp/etc . Ericsson AB ssh 2.0.4 ssh_sftpd(3erl)

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
