10.4: Stop Bonjour from broadcasting ssh/sftp, plus...
Authored by: jolinwarren on Jun 25, '07 08:47:17AM

Note that this will presumably stop your computer broadcasting itself to SFTP clients, too. SFTP is essentially the same as SSH but the client handles all the commands to make it look like you're accessing a 'normal' FTP server. I don't have any particular use for SSH to be broadcast over the LAN with Bonjour, but it is useful for me to have my SFTP server broadcast using Bonjour.

"I don't have any particular use for SSH to be broadcast over the LAN with Bonjour, but it is useful for me to have my SFTP server broadcast using Bonjour."

Of course, obversely, if you're broadcasting SFTP access, you *are* already implicitly broadcasting SSH access. You can't broadcast one without at least implying the other. So if you want to hide one, you have to hide both, and that is, indeed, how this hint will work.

so you can not disable ssh in its config file, and still have sftp work? *doesn't use stfp*
