The server will respond to a small number of shell commands, mainly
md5sum, sha1sum and df, which enable it to provide support for checksums
and the about feature when accessed from an sftp remote.
Note that this server uses fixed 32 KiB packet size, which means you must not
configure the client to use any other values, e.g. with the
[chunk_size](/sftp/#sftp-chunk-size) option on an sftp remote.
The server will log errors. Use ` + "`-v`" + ` to see access logs.

Note that this also implements a small number of shell commands so
that it can provide md5sum/sha1sum/df information for the rclone sftp
backend. This means that is can support SHA1SUMs, MD5SUMs and the
about command when paired with the rclone sftp backend.
If you don't supply a host ` + "`--key`" + ` then rclone will generate rsa, ecdsa
and ed25519 variants, and cache them for later use in rclone's cache
directory (see ` + "`rclone help flags cache-dir`" + `) in the "serve-sftp"
