The SSH server requires you to set up a key like this:

  ssh-keygen -t rsa -f server_key -N ''

Then, start the server. Connect to the server using an SSH client (e.g., ssh username@localhost -p 8023). Any username and password will be accepted for simplicity.

How to make it work with searchable content

Create a subdirectory FILES/ and put all the text files you want to search in that subdirectory.
