How do i setup the server to allow upload and downloads from /home/steven. I would like to be able to setup user accounts and grant permissions etc.
Also I know i need the openssh client (windows) to connect to the server on my linux box but what do I have to do inorder to connect to the server. Do I just give it the servers ip username and password.
You shouldn't be sharing data in people's home directories, create a shared directory and give people access to that. If you want it to be more transparent, just create a symlink in everyone's home directory that points to your new shared area, to an FTP client it'll look like a regular directory.
i final question how do I control the access of directories for example say it points to /steven and there are two sub directories 1 and 2. How do I allow access to 1 but not 2 and what username and passwords surely it has to have that or else it aint secure. SFTP is secure file transfer protocol
