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:

1. Some versions of Debian may require you to install GnuPG:
   sudo apt-get install gpg
2. 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
3. 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
4. Update the list of available packages:
   sudo apt-get update
5. Install the Advanced Server Access server agent:
   sudo apt-get install scaleft-server-tools

   The sftd daemon starts automatically.

6. Optional. Verify that the daemon is running.
