After i removed vsftpd from my new vserver with debian5, there is still some process called sftp-server running and managing ftp-connection. How can i turn that off? Where does it came from?

Commented out following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config now and still running:

#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

netstat -tulpen output: (censored my IP through xx.xx.xxx.xxx)

sftp-server (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is not a part of ftp. It's a part of OpenSSH.
You can turn it off in your ssh-config, usually in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Change the binary loaded to handle the sftp-sessions:

Subsystem sftp /bin/false

Don't forget to restart your sshd after the change:

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

I commented out the line and restarted ssh and after that didn't worked whole server, but still can access through sftp-connection to server and it's still running. – sewo Feb 7 at 13:24
I commented out this one: #Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server. Forgotten anything? – sewo Feb 7 at 13:24
Post the results from sudo netstat -tulpen in your opening post please. – Bart De Vos Feb 7 at 13:28
Ok, sorry at first i edited your answer and somehow can't change it back. But output is posted in my question. – sewo Feb 7 at 13:51
Did you restart the service after editing the settings? /etc/init.d/sshd restart – Bart De Vos Feb 7 at 13:57
