Secure File Transfer Protocol Server

Net::SFTP::SftpServer is a Perl port of sftp-server from OpenSSH providing access control on a per user and per command basis with improved logging via syslog.

This version of the Net::SFTP::SftpServer Perl module currently implements SSH File Transfer Protocol version 3.

The limitations compared with the OpenSSH implementation are as follows:

  - Only files and directories are dealt with - other inode types are not
    returned on readdir.
  - A virtual chroot is performed - / (rootfs) is treated as the users home
    directory from the client perspective and all file access to / will
    be in /<home_path>/<username>. The <home_path> is defined on object
    initialisation, it is not obtained from /etc/passwd.
  - All symlinked files or directories can be hidden and made inaccessible on
    request. Symlink returns "permission denied" then, readlink returns "file
    does not exist".
  - Setting of stats (set_stat or set_fstat) is disabled - the client will
    receive permission denied.
  - Permissions for files and dirs are defaulted - the defaults are set on
    object initialisation.
