  • Good point. On Linux (i.e with openSSH), the options that are accepted by internal-sftp are the same as those accepted by sftp-server. So therefore the man page for sftp-server can be used. But I wouldn't know if this applies to sunSSH as well. Probably, I guess. (in which case we can conclude that -d is not a possible option for internal-sftp). Commented Jun 28, 2017 at 16:25
  • Why they would be different? It is the same code that is run by sftp-server and the internal-sftp (unless you installed the first from other source). Commented Jun 28, 2017 at 16:28
  • Yes, I just wasn't aware of that. :-) I have accepted your answer because it is the one which most precisely answers my immediate question (is -d option supported or not?). Thanks. However, as for the workaround I'll most likely not use what you suggest but rather switch to openSSH instead as per sleepweasel's answer. Commented Jun 28, 2017 at 16:34
  • Yes, switching to OpenSSH is a good idea unless you need something very special from sunssh. Commented Jun 28, 2017 at 16:37
