I have configured the sftp in ubuntu 9.10, I could able to connect through the port 22, but not connected to users home folder. where do I need to configure so that users can connect / restrict to only their folder
View 1 RepliesI've run into my first Linux/Unix roadblock and need support. I am creating a user strictly for SFTP and need them to login to a specific folder as well as set their navigate, write, and read permissions appropriatly but am having trouble. I was able to modify /etc/passwd to change their home location upon login but was warned that it was a bit dangerous to modify this file, even though my login test worked, and that I should look for an alternate solution in case shadow passwords were used. I'm reading up on chmod and understand the binary relationship but still can't seem to put the pieces together for each folder I'm working in. Below is what I need to satisfy: username for this test will be 'customer'
Example folder: /storage/company/files
1. User 'customer' needs to login to /storage/company/ by default.
2. User 'customer' needs browse, write, and read permissions to /storage/company/ and ALL files and subdirectories within this folder
3. User 'customer' must be UNABLE to navigate backwards toward folder root / or in general, navigate out of their primary home location.

I found the issue is that in .bashrc I have following line: bind '"C-a": "cd .. "' As soon as I comment it out, sftp start working. But I cannot explain it.
As a Windows user, I generated a pair of DSA keys from CoreFTP Lite and sent it to a third party that runs an SFTP server. They told me that a valid DSA key needs to have ssh-dsa at the start and the username@systemname at the end. CoreFTP generated neither the ssh-dsa header nor the username@systemname footer. I tried with WinSCP and it didn't generate them either. Is there a difference between how SFTP works between Windows and Linux? If I put a useraccount@systemname at the end of the text will it work? How would the Linux system validate that my system is called "systemname"? If it can't validate, what is the purpose of adding it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have ubuntu server 9.10 running in which I selected the option to automatically installed security updates. It's been running file for 4 months with both ssh and SFTP, which I installed the openssh-server.Today I really need to upload something to the server, which is in another city and SFTP isn't working. It's not allowing me to connected, I tried connecting with multiple FTP clients, command line...etc and on both windows and linux and SFTP just isn't working.The only changed I've done to the configuration file was changing the port from 22 to another port and did this 4 months ago. Been using it every few weeks since then.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've made an SSH server using OpenSSH on my desktop Ubuntu (10.4) for tunneling. However, I'm noticing that the public account I made for my SSH (one to give to friends to use proxy) has SFTP access to crucial system files. I'm okay with SFTP being enabled on my account, but not on this public account. Does anyone know of anyway to either disable SFTP to that user, or restrict access to important files?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a file handler script that monitors (via a cron job) a directory that is an openssh sftp target for new files. When it detects a new file, it moves it, does an scp to another system, and sends an email. The problem I have is that I can't figure out a way to verify that the sftp upload is complete before I start manipulating the file.

I'm currently searching for a good ftp storage (with sftp supported) to back up my stuff. I had a look at amazon's S3. That looks good, but maybe a bit pricey. Do you guys have any ideas?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm wanting to setup SFTP in a chroot, which is simply enough to do and I already have it working; however I also want it so that when they connect via SFTP it goes directly to their home directory. Currently I have the following in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config":
Code:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match Group sftp-users
ChrootDirectory /home
AllowTCPForwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp
Which works perfectly fine, however when they connect there are shown the contents of the "/home" directory which they then have to "cd username" to get to their home directory. This I do not like, and it confuses our clients who connect saying they can see "random folders that aren't mine", or some that think they've "hacked" the server. I really need it so upon connection they go to "username" directory. I can do this by using:
Code:
usermod -d /username username
Which changes the users home directory to "/username", and then upon connection it works just fine, they are taken directory to their home directory. However, I really really do not like the fact that "/etc/passwd" shows a different home directory to their real home directory, i.e it states "/username" when actually it is "/home/username".I've spent the entire day looking a different ways of doing it, and I can't come up with anything.
I have recently configured sshd_config to have chrooted SFTP service. I'm using SFTP internal-sftp config. However now I have to figure out how to log file transfers happening using the SFTP service. I'm using the Ubuntu Server 10.04 (64bit)

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Using sftp, is there any way to force particular file permissions upon upload? I want the permissions on all files uploaded via sftp to be 664.
I've searched around and cannot find an answer. Many people ask similar questions and many responses recommend using umask, but as far as I understand it, umask is just a bit mask--it cannot be used to set permissions.

I recently set up SFTP on my server and in doing so wanted to create a jail for users. I went through the steps and edited the sshd_config accordingly and got everything to work perfectly. However since doing so I can no longer ssh to that machine as I once was able to do. SFTP and the jail work fine however if I comment out ChrootDirectory /home/%u and ForceCommand internal-sftp in the sshd_config; I can now ssh to that machine however the jail no longer works. I need to be able to have the jail working properly for SFTP along with being able to ssh to that machine. Is this possiblesshd_config: Jail works for SFTP but no ssh

View 4 Replies View RelatedI really hope someone could help me with this problem. I've been stuck on this for a month.I am using the sftp command to upload files using a bash script.The problem is that it is extremely slow to do it this way. as many of you would know if you have shared server somewhere. I would use scp if remote server supported it, but it doesn't.
Anyway, If any of you have ever used FileZilla, in the Settings, if you go to "Transfers" there is a place where you can set the number of "maximum simultaneous transfers". This feature works wonders with SFTP (and FTP too). It really speeds things up. How do I accomplish this same thing with the sftp command... because I don't want to use a GUI. I don't even mind using FileZilla through the command line if possible... but it does not seem to be possible. I've been stuck on this for a month!!! I've searched everywhere and tried a lot of things with no avail...
I want to use a cron job to backup my files to my server. Now when I run the script manually, I get an error when backing up (something and sftp file being used or so). I only get this when I'm simultaneously connected to my server with sftp. So to be sure that this doesnt happen when I wont be there anymore to look at the log, I would like to know if there is a command to kill all sftp connections. I would put this command in the backup scrip cron uses.
