14.19.1. Validate server configuration¶

When the configuration changes are done from within the Web Manager the changes are validated whey they are applied. Invalid changes are not applied.

These steps are only needed when the configuration file was changes using a text editor or external tools.

To validate the server configuration, use the following command:

$ ./bin/admin-commands.sh validate (on Unix-like systems)
CMD> admin-commands.bat validate (on Windows)

After the command is executed, it will list whether the configuration is valid or not on standard output.

14.19.2. Running in debug mode¶

For testing the product or trying out various configuration options, SFTPPlus can be launched in debug mode in order to provide quick feedback to internal server operations.

While running in debug mode, the service will remain attached to the console and will output all logging entries to the console.

$ ./bin/admin-commands.sh debug

14.19.3. Delay execution of SFTP commands¶

The SFTP service can be configured to delay execution of a folder listing or file reading and writing command.

Since these options are not intended to be used in production, they are not visible in the normal configuration file.

To enable or change the delay, you will need to change the following values at the end of this file:

INSTALL_PATH/lib/python2.7/chevah/server/commons/constants.py

To disable the delay, set the values as:

TEST_DELAY_EXECUTION = {
    'open_folder': 0,  # Used for folder listing operations.
    'open_file': 0,  # Used for file read and write operations.
}

To enable a delay of 30 seconds for listing folder and a delay of 20 seconds for reading and writing files, set the values as:

TEST_DELAY_EXECUTION = {
    'open_folder': 30,  # Used for folder listing operations.
    'open_file': 20,  # Used for file read and write operations.
}
