# Overview
FluxSFTP is a regular SFTP server with the following additions:
* custom authentication (virtual users)
* jail directories i.e. limit users to a certain directory
SQLite, PostgreSQL and MYSQL are supported for the database, Authentication can be done either via public key or password, password authentication uses bcrypt hashing with the default cost i.e. 12
# Installation
# Configuration
The configuration file is located at `/etc/flux-sftp/config.toml`, here is the default configuration:
```toml
[general]
listen_address = "0.0.0.0"
port = 2222
jail_dir = "/srv/sftp"
private_key_file = "~/.ssh/flux-sftp"
[database]
driver = "sqlite"
path = "/var/lib/flux-sftp/auth.db"
# host = "127.0.0.1"
# port = 3306
# user = "testuser"
# password = "testpass"
# dbname = "testdb"
table = "users"
username_field = "username"
public_key_field = "public_key"
# password_field = "password"
```
## Options
### general
* `listen_address` the address that the server listens on
* `port` the port that the server listens on
* `jail_dir` the directory that the all the users will be jailed into, each user will be jailed to the directory `jail_dir/{username}`, e.g. example_user will be jailed to `/srv/sftp/example_user` if `jail_dir` is set to `/srv/sftp`
* `private_key_file` the private key for the server, the server will use this to present its identity
### database
* `driver` which database to use, can be `sqlite`, `postgres`, `mysql`. in case of sqlite `path` option must be specified and for `postgres` and `mysql` the relevant options to connect to the database must be specified
* `path` path to sqlite db file, only specify if using `sqlite`
* `host` host address for the database, only specify if using `postgres` or `mysql`
* `port` port the database server is running on, only specify if using `postgres` or `mysql`
* `user` database user, only specify if using `postgres` or `mysql`
* `password` password for the database user, only specify if using `postgres` or `mysql`
* `dbname` name of the database to use, only specify if using `postgres` or `mysql`
* `table` the database table to query to get the hashed password or the public_key
* `username_field` name of the database column which stores the username
* `public_key_field` name of the database column which stores the public key, if this is not specifed this auth method will be disabled rejecting all requests
* `password_field` name of the database column which stores the hashed password, if this is not specifed this auth method will be disabled rejecting all requests
