sftpserver is a simple single-threaded SFTP server based on
Paramiko's SFTPServer.
I needed a simple server that could be used as a stub for testing Python SFTP clients so I whipped out one.
Using pip:
$ [sudo] pip install sftpserver
$ sftpserver
Usage: sftpserver [options]
-k/--keyfile should be specified
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--host=HOST listen on HOST [default: localhost]
-p PORT, --port=PORT listen on PORT [default: 3373]
-l LEVEL, --level=LEVEL
Debug level: WARNING, INFO, DEBUG [default: INFO]
-k FILE, --keyfile=FILE
Path to private key, for example /tmp/test_rsa.key
$ sftpserver -k /tmp/test_rsa.key -l DEBUG
Connecting with a Python client to our server:
>>> import paramiko
>>> pkey = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key_file('/tmp/test_rsa.key')
>>> transport = paramiko.Transport(('localhost', 3373))
>>> transport.connect(username='admin', password='admin', pkey=pkey)
>>> sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)
>>> sftp.listdir('.')
