💖 sftp-state(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the sftp-state page from the MySecureShell Manual for MySecureShell — yes the manual really says it like that twice, and honestly? iconic. she's giving main character energy and she's here to tell you how to boss the server around. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

sftp-state — a MySecureShell Command, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSYS 🌸

sftp-state [options]

(yes it's spelled SYNOPSYS in the original, we don't fix her, we love her as she is 💖)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

she controls the activity of the server. that's the whole vibe. start it, stop it, that's it. simple, clean, slay. ✨

🎀 Options 🎀

  • -yes — you're answering Yes to literally every single question she throws at you. lowkey powerful. heads up though: this one must be the first argument, like she will not accept it anywhere else, periodt. 🙈
  • active / start — start the server. wake her up, she's ready. 🔥
  • shutdown / stop — stop the server. and bestie, be warned: this one asks you if you want to disconnect clients. she's polite like that. 😭

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

okay so here's how the girlies actually use it:

sftp-state start

→ starts the server. that's it, that's the whole thing. 🌈

sftp-state -yes stop

→ stops the server and disconnects the users, because -yes already answered the disconnect question for you. no extra clicking, no extra feelings, just vibes. 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
