| May 17, 2015 at 20:28 | comment | added | Mikko Ohtamaa | Just to note there is one correct answer of sftp -s "sudo /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server" targethost.fqdn below. If sudo requires password you can whitelist this one particular command for nopasswd. | |

| Jan 26, 2014 at 19:18 | comment | added | Martin von Wittich | "It seems to be a best practice to require login as a non-root user and then require use of sudo since the logs will record who was given escalated privileges for each command." - but that's not worth much, because someone who has acquired root privileges can tamper with the logs anyway. | |
| Jan 26, 2014 at 19:16 | comment | added | Martin von Wittich | I'd just use the root account with key-based authentication directly and skip sudo. | |
