linux enable sftp

To enable sftp on linux (having openssh-server installed), one have to uncomment/open following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and restart sshd server (this line is already enabled in all the distributions by default, means sftp is already working):

Subsystem       sftp    /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server


To connect to linux sftp, use sftp user@server from command line and use normal ftp (put/get/mput/mget) commands to retrieve and send files to server.
