Starting an sftp server

The ssh server doubles as the sftp server.

sudo apt install openssh-server

should do it.

See the recent thread as to tweaks needed to connect to a modern SSH server from an ancient MacOS client.

You can also configure things so particular users can only access the SFTP service, and nothing else.

Looks like it's already present: sudo apt install openssh-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done openssh-server is already the newest version (1:8.4p1-5+deb11u3). openssh-server set to manually installed.

ISTR a dialog box for turning various services off and on but can't find it under the raspberry menu; did it just go away? I thought it was somewhere in preferences.

Thanks for the tips; this is the first time I've wanted to use server features under RasPiOS.

I looked and didn't recognize the thread you're referring to. Can you post the title?

Thanks!

After looking over the thread I decided to use sneakernet via thumb drive. Thanks for the warning! At some point I should revisit the issue, but it's more involved than I expected.
