gesftpserver(8) System Manager's Manual gesftpserver(8)

NAME

gesftpserver - Green End SFTP Server

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gesftpserver [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

gesftpserver implements the SFTP protocol. It is normally run as an SSH subsystem but can be run in other contexts if necessary.

CONFIGURING OPENSSH

By default, OpenSSH will use its native SFTP server in response to requests for the SFTP subsystem. To use gesftpserver instead, add a suitable Subsystem command to sshd_config (and remove the existing one if present). For example:

Subsystem  sftp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gesftpserver
