It stores files on the local filesystem, optionally encrypted, or in S3-compatible, Google Cloud and Azure Blob storage and on other SFTP servers. Users, groups, quotas, shares and event rules are managed in the web administration interface or with the REST API, and users can reach their files in the web client. **Getting started** The service starts right after installation. SFTP listens on port 2022 on all interfaces; no account exists yet. The web interfaces and the REST API listen on 127.0.0.1:8080 (this machine only). Open and create the first administrator with the installation code generated for this machine: ``` sudo cat /var/snap/sftpgo/common/credentials/installation-code ``` Then add users and connect, for example with sftp -P 2022 alice@server. **Settings** To open the web interfaces to your network, or to enable FTP and WebDAV: ``` sudo snap set sftpgo http-address=:8080 sudo snap set sftpgo ftp-address=:2121 webdav-address=:8090 ``` Other settings go in /var/snap/sftpgo/common/sftpgo.json; restart the service after editing: ``` sudo snap restart sftpgo.daemon ``` **Storage** Users' files are kept in /var/snap/sftpgo/common/data. To keep them on a drive mounted under /media or /mnt, in a folder owned by root: ``` sudo snap connect sftpgo:removable-media sudo snap set sftpgo users-base-dir=/mnt/disk1/sftpgo ``` SFTPGo is licensed under AGPL-3.0-only with additional terms. The theme of its web interfaces is proprietary and may only be used within SFTPGo. ### Package name * sftpgo --- ### License * AGPL-3.0-only --- ### Last updated * 12 November 2026 - latest/stable * Today - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [sftpgo.com](https://sftpgo.com "https://sftpgo.com") --- ### Contact * [github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap/issues](https://github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap/issues "https://github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap/issues") --- ### Source code * [github.com/drakkan/sftpgo](https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo "https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo") * [github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap](https://github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap "https://github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/issues](https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/issues "https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/issues") * [github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap/issues](https://github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap/issues "https://github.com/sidalit/sftpgo-snap/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/sftpgo/arch#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about sftpgo ›](https://snapcraft.io/sftpgo) ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install SFTPGo Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install SFTPGo To install SFTPGo, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install sftpgo ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
