Creating a SFTP Account

KookosPahkina · 01-17-2015, 04:55 PM

Ok so, i want to create a SFTP account, that has access to edit/delete/move/upload/download files inside its homefolder and to all the other files/folders that are inside the homefolder.
The account should not be able to go back from the homefolder, like if the home folder is /home/servers it cannot go back to /home..
And the account should not be able to login to SSH.

Users usually have access to all directories and files in their own ~/.

The term you're looking for is "chroot".

See https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...1/#post5290585 (with the addition that the user account you create must have an inert shell like "/bin/false" or "/sbin/nologin") or see 'scponly'.
