Add support of SendEnv

Add support of SendEnv to set environment variable at connection in SFTP(like putty)

What's the use case with SFTP protocol?

The user (foo) that I use to connect to my server does not have a bash by default, but a script (whiptail, to facilitate common actions). Unless the environment variable MODE = "SFTP"

/etc/passwd

home/foo/main.sh

To be able to use the same user to upload and manage my server, I would like to use sendEnv.

How does bash relate to SFTP? You need to start sftp-server, not bash.

Yes, but if it's not a shell (eg bash) that is started at the connection.

like this:

Winscp can not connect.

I was asking, why do you start /bin/bash in your main.sh, if "mode" is "SFTP".

Anyway, your main.sh should get sftp-server as its argument. You can use that to detect the "mode".

Thanks for your responses, and happy new year!

to start /bin/bash instead of my whiptail script.

Sorry, but I don't understand, how my script can get sftp-server as its argument??

The SSH server should pass sftp-server to the shell as an argument.

Ok, it works.
