https://www.rebex.net/tiny-sftp-server/

  • Local SFTP client application development and testing

    Need to test your app now? Not willing to wait days or weeks for your tech-support department to install a testing SFTP server?

    Don't want to spend hours learning how to configure a full-features SFTP server yourself?

    Get Tiny SFTP server and start developing in minutes.

  • Quick & dirty file sharing

    Unpack the exe, copy files to the data folder, run it. No installation. Now you can securely connect from another computer to download data. 
    Note: change file RebexTinySftpServer.exe.config set sshPort = 22 then start server
    sftp -i ./server-private-key-rsa.ppk tester@192.168.1.169

When NOT to use Rebex Tiny SFTP Server
  • Not for use with real passwords

    This server stores password in clear-text configuration file. The password is even displayed on the server main form. If your scenario requires a higher degree of security and you have enough time to go through choosing, obtaining, learning, configuring and securing a full-featured SFTP server, go for it.

  • Just need to test that your SFTP client works

    If you only need to test that your client application can connect to an SFTP server and download files you don't need to run any server.

    Just connect to our public SFTP server running at test.rebex.net. Use demo as username and password as password.

sftp demo@test.rebex.net

import pysftp

host = 'test.rebex.net'
port = 22
username = 'demo'
password= 'password'
conn = pysftp.Connection(host=host,username=username, password=password)
