Hi Ive been trying to get a "user" setup for a friend, basically so he could enter IP address of server and it would come up with the directory structure of a certain directory but my attempts so far have failed..... This server is bought and I have a user that was setup via a template lets call it "me" I can log in via internet explorer via ftp://192.168.0.0 (fake ip for security) and it will ask for my login and pass and off it goes no problem, but when I try the user I set up it just bounces back to the login prompt, but it can log in via filezilla for example. I must admit now that my use of this is very limited so walk through would be very appreciated What ive one so far Edited sshd_config with :- Code: subsystem sftp internal-sftp (#ing the original line) adding at the bottom :- Code: Match group sftponly ChrootDirectory /home/%u ForceCommand internal-sftp X11Forwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no Restarted the ssh server Added the group sftponly added user with Code: useradd -m username Added user to sftp group with Code: usermod -g sftponly username removed the shell access Code: usermod -s /bin/false username Changed ownership Code: chown root:root /home/username Created a fake home dir Code: mkdir -p /home/username/home/username Switched user ownership Code: chown username:username /home/username/home/username and then mouted a directory inside the usernames home direcory Code: mount -o bind /some/directory/ /home/username/home/username/new directory I also give the user a password using passwd user Is there anything else I need to do to make this work or will it not work at all? Cheers
It connects fine with the user I was issued with though, can log in (via explorer) and download. It's just the user that I have made that its bouncing back on
