Shalom,

Install secure shell.

Secure shell can be found in depot form here:

swinstall -s $PWD/ \*

secure shell is a port of openssh that includes ssh/scp/sftp server and client binaries.

Hi,
Are you able to do ssh to the server ?
if yes then you are able to do sftp also if not then
edit this file

/opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config

# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem sftp /opt/ssh/libexec/sftp-server

go to last line replace /opt/ssh/libexec/sftp-server with /usr/lbin/sftp-server
save it

inetd -c restart the net service

then try sftp

Problem with Suraj' answer.

sftp is not run by the inetd daemon

After configuration chanches.

/sbin/init.d/secsh stop
/sbin/init.d/secsh start

how to start/stop ftp daemon

Re: sftp configuration

Ganesan R — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:01:38 GMT

Hi Yash123,

ftp service is controlled by its master internet daemon inetd. So you cannot stop or start ftp alone. But you can always disable the ftp service alone on /etc/inetd.conf or in /etc/services.

Whenever a ftp request comes inetd daemon will spawn ftpd daemon to answer the request.If you want to stop and start, then you need to restart inetd daemon only.

#/sbin/init.d/inetd stop
#/sbin/init.d/inetd start
