NAME

       gesftpserver - Green End SFTP Server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/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/gesftpserver

IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

       gesftpserver supports up to version 6 of the SFTP protocol and the following extensions:

       newline
              Reports the server's newline convention to the client.

       space-available
              Equivalent to df(1).
