Hello guys, First of all I am VERY new to setting up servers and all, so please be patient with me Now, I have an unmanaged VPS with no control panels at all. OS is CentOS 5.2 and I use nginx as my webserver I wanted to know, what all steps to follow to install/configure SFTP access. Please explain step by step. What all stuff do I need for it? I use FireFTP as my ftp client, it has SFTP feature too. Thank you
All you have to do is create a system user with the /bin/bash or /bin/sh shell using the useradd command (see Code: man useradd ). Then set a password for that user: Code: passwd [I]username[/I] Afterwards you should be able to log in using SFTP.
