sftp

Easy to use SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) server.

Usage

• Define users and passwords in comma separated list with SFTP_USERS (syntax: user:pass[:e][:[uid][:gid]][,...]).
  • You must set custom UID and/or GID for your users if you want them to make changes to your mounted volumes with permissions matching your host filesystem.
• Mount volumes in user's home folder.
  • The users are chrooted to their home directory, so you must mount the volumes in separate directories inside the user's home directory (/home/user/mounted-directory).

Examples

Single user and volume

docker run \
    -e SFTP_USERS='foo:123' \
    -v "/host/share:/home/foo/share" \
    -p 2222:22 -d atmoz/sftp

Multiple users and volumes

docker run \
    -e SFTP_USERS='foo:123,bar:abc' \
    -v "/host/share:/home/foo/share" \
    -v "/host/documents:/home/foo/documents" \
    -v "/host/http:/home/bar/http" \
    -p 2222:22 -d atmoz/sftp

Custom UID and GID

SFTP_USERS='foo:123:1001:100'

Only custom GID:

SFTP_USERS='foo:123::100'

Encrypted password

Add :e behind password to mark it as encrypted:

SFTP_USERS='foo:$1$0G2g0GSt$ewU0t6GXG15.0hWoOX8X9.:e:1001:100'

Tip: you can use makepasswd to generate encrypted passwords: echo -n 123 | makepasswd --crypt-md5 --clearfrom -
