+This is a SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) interface to OpenStack
+Object Storage, providing a service that acts as a proxy between a
+SFTP client and a storage service.
+
+The username/password pair used to open the SFTP session is validated
+using the authentication service of the files/storage service to get
+an authentication token.
+
+The communication between the client and the SFTP daemon is encrypted
+all the time, and the SFTP service supports HTTPS communication with
+the remote files/storage service.
+
+There's limited SCP support since 0.10.
