It wraps Paramiko's SFTPServer to provide a simple command-line tool that listens on a configurable host and port, accepts SSH key authentication, and serves files from the local filesystem. The package is intended for developers who need to test SFTP client code without setting up a real SFTP server.\n\nThe server runs single-threaded and is configured via command-line flags: you specify a private key file, optional host and port, and debug logging level. It accepts connections from Paramiko clients using RSA key authentication and allows standard SFTP operations like listing and transferring files. Because it is abandoned (last release 2017, last commit 2020), it carries risk of incompatibility with modern Python or Paramiko versions.","worth_installing":"No\u2014install only for legacy projects already using it. The package is abandoned (last update 2017) with no Python version guarantee, making it unsuitable for new development. Modern alternatives or a maintained SFTP testing library are strongly preferred."},"id":"sftpserver","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sftpserver","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sftpserver.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sftpserver/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-04-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sftpserver","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"sftpserver - a simple single-threaded sftp server"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":237488,"position":8957,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3"}
