```
plaintext   := chunk_0          ||       chunk_1          ||       chunk_2          ||       ...
                 |                         |                         |

   ├─ private.key
   └─ public.crt
```

You can provide a custom certs directory using `--certs-dir` command line option.

#### Credentials

On MinIO admin credentials or root credentials are only allowed to be changed using ENVs namely `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD`.

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=minio
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minio13
minio server /data
```

#### Site

```
KEY:

sftp>
```

## Advanced options

### Change default FTP port

Default port '8021' can be changed via

```
--ftp="address=:3021"
```

### Change FTP passive port range

By default FTP requests OS to give a free port automatically, however you may want to restrict

fs.s3a.fast.upload.buffer=disk # Use disk as the buffer for uploads
fs.s3a.fast.upload=true # Turn on fast upload mode
fs.s3a.max.total.tasks=2048 # Maximum number of parallel tasks
fs.s3a.multipart.size=512M # Size of each multipart chunk
fs.s3a.multipart.threshold=512M # Size before using multipart uploads
fs.s3a.socket.recv.buffer=65536 # Read socket buffer hint
fs.s3a.socket.send.buffer=65536 # Write socket buffer hint

Refer to sizing guide for more understanding on default values chosen depending on your erasure stripe size [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/distributed/SIZING.md). Parity settings can be changed using [storage classes](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/erasure/storage-class).
