Leave a comment (24) Go to comments

SFTP Server allows you to share / exchange files via the SSH File Transfer Protocol (also Secure File Transfer Protocol, or SFTP).

* Note: ports below 1024 are not supported due to sandboxing.

* Features

• Secure file transfer
• Built-in SFTP accounts (independent of the macOS accounts)
• Per-user home directories
• Simple and easy to configure
• Supports popular SFTP clients such as FileZilla and WinSCP
• Supports documents, photos, movies, apps, backups, folders and other files

* The default document root points to “/Users/*username*/Library/Containers/net.langui.SFTPServer/Data/Documents/SFTPShare”, you can press Command-G in Finder to go to the destination folder.

    Hi
    Is there a way to make this software working as a service? I bought it and I love it. But SFTP server doesn’t automatically start when my distant server reboot. I have to start a session. Then SFTP is working. For secure reason it is not possible to activate automatic login on the server.
    Thanks.

    Hi

    Can we start the SFTP server Service in the Background and runs without login in on the Mac Mini Server.

    Regards Otto

    hi, is there any way to edit user permissions. For instance giving them read only access?

      Hi Marcel,

      Currently SFTP Server does not support setting the permission for each user yet.
      But you can change the user’s home directory to read only in Finder (right click -> Get Info -> Share & Permissions).

      Thank you!

    Greetings. I was using your FTP Server then switched to SFTP Server. Can it use a domain name like FTP? (Masquerade). Thank you.

    Why are the ports limited to higher numbers? Typical SFTP port is set to 22 and I have a client that is limited on the ports they can access. Please advise.

    Hi Langui, the app is great but it misses two crucial functions: automatic launch at startup, and the possiblity to give each user it’s own permissions. As mentioned above. Can you give an update or roadmap for this?

    Hi Langui,

    I’m wanting to use SFTP Server to provide access to documents to a SAAS service that requires the sFTP server to provide a hostkey (public rsa key).

    Can SFTP Server be configured to do this?

    Hi, it looks like a promising app!
    Can you filter or block incoming ip addresses to?

    Regards,

    Hello.

    I have purchased FTP Server v2.7 (18) just recently and it has worked beautifully – until today. The current Apple Security Update 2021-003 (Catalina) seems to have changed something. The log reads:

    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/OpenSSL/crypto.py:12: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: Python 2 is no longer supported by the Python core team. Support for it is now deprecated in cryptography, and will be removed in the next release.
    from cryptography import x509
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Applications/FTPServer.app/Contents/Resources/ftpserver.py", line 324, in
    main(sys.argv[1:])
    File "/Applications/FTPServer.app/Contents/Resources/ftpserver.py", line 252, in main
    from pyftpdlib.handlers import TLS_FTPHandler
    ImportError: cannot import name TLS_FTPHandler

    Since Python 2.7 has been deprecated for some time, and support officially ended last year, this is no surprise. Still, the app is valuable to me. Is there a quick way to get it working again? Are you planning a release based on Python 3?

    Thank you in advance. Have a nice day.

    Hi

    Is it possible to not have a password but rely on RSA Certificate only for access?

    Thanks, Parmy

      Hi Parmy,

      You can’t disable password authentication, but you can set a long complex password and authenticate via SSH key files.

      Thank you!
