# Portable mode
SFTPGo allows to share a single directory on demand using the `portable` subcommand:
2020-06-15 21:46:11 +00:00
```console
2020-03-04 22:10:58 +00:00
sftpgo portable --help
2020-07-09 16:58:22 +00:00
To serve the current working directory with auto generated credentials simply
use:
2020-03-04 22:10:58 +00:00
2020-07-09 16:58:22 +00:00
$ sftpgo portable

In portable mode, SFTPGo can advertise the SFTP/FTP services and, optionally, the credentials via multicast DNS, so there is a standard way to discover the service and to automatically connect to it.
2020-03-04 22:10:58 +00:00
2020-07-29 19:56:56 +00:00
Here is an example of the advertised SFTP service including credentials as seen using `avahi-browse` :
2020-03-04 22:10:58 +00:00
2020-06-15 21:46:11 +00:00
```console
2020-03-04 22:10:58 +00:00
= enp0s31f6 IPv4 SFTPGo portable 53705 SFTP File Transfer local
hostname = [p1.local]
address = [192.168.1.230]
port = [53705]
txt = ["password=EWOo6pJe" "user=user" "version=0.9.3-dev-b409523-dirty-2019-10-26T13:43:32Z"]
```
