Install the Advanced Server Access server agent on Ubuntu or Debian
To install and use the server agent, you’ll need to add the repository signing key, create a package resource list entry linked to the repository signing key, and update the available packages.
To install the agent:
- Some versions of Debian may require you to install GnuPG:
sudo apt-get install gpg
- Add the Advanced Server Access repository key:
curl -fsSL https://dist.scaleft.com/pki/scaleft_deb_key.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/scaleft-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
- Create a package resource list entry:
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/scaleft-archive-keyring.gpg] http://pkg.scaleft.com/deb linux main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/scaleft.list > /dev/null
- Update the list of available packages:
sudo apt-get update
- Install the Advanced Server Access server agent:
sudo apt-get install scaleft-server-tools
The sftd daemon starts automatically.
- Optional. Verify that the daemon is running.
