Portable mode

SFTPGo allows to share a single directory on demand using the portable subcommand:

sftpgo portable --help
To serve the current working directory with auto generated credentials simply
use:

$ sftpgo portable

Please take a look at the usage below to customize the serving parameters

Usage:
  sftpgo portable [flags]

Flags:
      --allowed-patterns stringArray    Allowed file patterns case insensitive.
                                        The format is:
                                        /dir::pattern1,pattern2.
                                        For example: "/somedir::*.jpg,a*b?.png"
      --az-access-tier string           Leave empty to use the default

      --az-account-name string
      --az-container string
      --az-download-concurrency int     How many parts are downloaded in

                                        (MB) (default 5)
      --az-endpoint string              Leave empty to use the default:
                                        "blob.core.windows.net"
      --az-key-prefix string            Allows to restrict access to the
                                        virtual folder identified by this
                                        prefix and its contents
      --az-sas-url string               Shared access signature URL
      --az-upload-concurrency int       How many parts are uploaded in

      --az-use-emulator
  -c, --config-dir string               Location of the config dir. This directory
                                        is used as the base for files with a relative
                                        path, e.g. the private keys for the SFTP
                                        server or the database file if you use a
                                        file-based data provider.
                                        The configuration file, if not explicitly set,
                                        is looked for in this dir. We support reading
                                        from JSON, TOML, YAML, HCL, envfile and Java
                                        properties config files. The default config
                                        file name is "sftpgo" and therefore
                                        "sftpgo.json", "sftpgo.yaml" and so on are
                                        searched.
                                        This flag can be set using SFTPGO_CONFIG_DIR
                                        env var too. (default ".")
      --config-file string              Path to SFTPGo configuration file.
                                        This flag explicitly defines the path, name
                                        and extension of the config file. If must be
                                        an absolute path or a path relative to the
                                        configuration directory. The specified file
                                        name must have a supported extension (JSON,
                                        YAML, TOML, HCL or Java properties).
                                        This flag can be set using SFTPGO_CONFIG_FILE
                                        env var too.
      --crypto-passphrase string        Passphrase for encryption/decryption
      --denied-patterns stringArray     Denied file patterns case insensitive.
                                        The format is:
                                        /dir::pattern1,pattern2.
                                        For example: "/somedir::*.jpg,a*b?.png"
  -d, --directory string                Path to the directory to serve.

                                        relative to the current directory
                                         (default ".")

                                        to get completed before shutting down.
                                        A graceful shutdown is triggered by an
