vsftpd-2.0.5.tgz is available as a package:

http://www.openbsd.org/4.3_packages/....tgz-long.html

More information can be found at the following:

http://openports.se/net/vsftpd

Configuration information can be studied by reading by the manpage after installing the package.

If, Milo, you mean sftp via ssh -- such as the sftp(1) built-in client, note that sshd(8) provides sftp services already.

Please clarify, do you mean a SFTP as in the file transfer protocol over SSH or FTPS a secured version of FTP? they are 2 different things.

I want a FTP over SSH Server (sftp)
I have only need to modify sshd_config to do that or it is necessary to install a specific package ?
thank's

As jggimi stated, SFTP server is built into SSHD, and enabled by default last I looked, it can be disabled in the sshd_config file. There are also GUI clients for Windoz(WinSCP) and MAC(Fugu) to name a couple, most *nix's come with a command line client. I too prefer VSFTPD and it is very easily installed and configured and fast as all hell

You dont need to install a third party sftp server, its supported by default.

Make sure the line from the following command is uncomment

%grep sftp /etc/ssh/sshd_config

[jggimi]

All one needs, to use sftp with the default sshd(8) configuration is to issue:

$ sftp [<user>@]<server>
