Hi Guys,
I've searched through the web and forums before posting and yes I have found some sites that show how to create SFTP access on Redhat. What I'm trying to accomplish is to create a new user called DEV that has it's home folder set to "/var/www/web/media/nutritionalfacts" and cannot browse anywhere else. These are the inscrutctions I've tried without success...
Code:
groupadd sftp_users
useradd -G sftp_users -s /sbin/nologin DEV -d /var/www/web/media/nutritionalfacts
passwd DEV
# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#comment out the below line and add a line like below
#Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
# add Below lines at the end of file
Match Group sftp_users
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ChrootDirectory h
ForceCommand internal-sftp
service sshd restart
chmod 755 /var/www/web/media/nutritionalfacts
chown root /var/www/web/media/nutritionalfacts
chgrp -R sftp_users /var/www/web/media/nutritionalfacts
For whatever reason, the above doesn't work and I can't connect via SFTP with the new user. In the meantime, I simply did the following which works but allows the user to browse through the whole Redhat OS filesystem...
Code:
useradd DEV -M -d /var/www/web/media/nutritionalfacts -s /sbin/nologin
passwd DEV
I really want the user to be restricted to only that folder via SFTP and for it to be as simple as possible.
Anyone?
