28.Sh NAME
29.Nm sftp-server
30.Nd SFTP server subsystem
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Nm sftp-server
33.Op Fl ehR
34.Op Fl f Ar log_facility
35.Op Fl l Ar log_level
36.Op Fl u Ar umask
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38.Nm
39is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol
40to stdout and expects client requests from stdin.
41.Nm
42is not intended to be called directly, but from
43.Xr sshd 8
44using the
45.Cm Subsystem
46option.
47.Pp
48Command-line flags to
49.Nm
50should be specified in the
51.Cm Subsystem
52declaration.
53See
54.Xr sshd_config 5
55for more information.
56.Pp
57Valid options are:
58.Bl -tag -width Ds
59.It Fl e
60Causes
61.Nm
62to print logging information to stderr instead of syslog for debugging.
63.It Fl f Ar log_facility
64Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from
65.Nm .
66The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2,
67LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
68The default is AUTH.
69.It Fl h
70Displays
71.Nm
72usage information.
73.It Fl l Ar log_level
74Specifies which messages will be logged by
75.Nm .
76The possible values are:
77QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3.
78INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that
79.Nm
80performs on behalf of the client.
81DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent.
82DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output.
83The default is ERROR.
84.It Fl R
85Places this instance of
86.Nm
87into a read-only mode.
88Attempts to open files for writing, as well as other operations that change
89the state of the filesystem, will be denied.
90.It Fl u Ar umask
91Sets an explicit
92.Xr umask 2
93to be applied to newly-created files and directories, instead of the
94user's default mask.
95.El
96.Pp
97For logging to work,
98.Nm
99must be able to access
100.Pa /dev/log .
101Use of
102.Nm
103in a chroot configuration therefore requires that
104.Xr syslogd 8
105establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory.
