28.Sh NAME
29.Nm sftp-server
30.Nd SFTP server subsystem
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Nm sftp-server
33.Op Fl f Ar log_facility
34.Op Fl l Ar log_level
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36.Nm
37is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol
38to stdout and expects client requests from stdin.
39.Nm
40is not intended to be called directly, but from
41.Xr sshd 8
42using the
43.Cm Subsystem
44option.
45.Pp
46Command-line flags to
47.Nm
48should be specified in the
49.Cm Subsystem
50declaration.
51See
52.Xr sshd_config 5
53for more information.
54.Pp
55Valid options are:
56.Bl -tag -width Ds
57.It Fl f Ar log_facility
58Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from
59.Nm .
60The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2,
61LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.
62The default is AUTH.
63.It Fl l Ar log_level
64Specifies which messages will be logged by
65.Nm .
66The possible values are:
67QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3.
68INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that
69.Nm
70performs on behalf of the client.
71DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent.
72DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output.
73The default is ERROR.
74.El
75.Pp
76For logging to work,
77.Nm
78must be able to access
79.Pa /dev/log .
80Use of
81.Nm
82in a chroot configuration therefore requires that
83.Xr syslogd 8
84establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory.
