How To Install libnet-sftp-sftpserver-perl on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libnet-sftp-sftpserver-perl on Debian 12.
What is libnet-sftp-sftpserver-perl
libnet-sftp-sftpserver-perl is:
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>/
. 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.
