Get started with a free trial download of Tectia SSH Client/Server (no credit card required): Tectia SSH free trial. so in my case this isn't too bad - I actually needed "myuser01" to have a www directory which they needed access to - I solved this by sudo mkdir /var/sftp/myuser01/www/ SSH (Secure Shell) is a multi-purpose protocol for secure system administration and file transfers, invented by SSH.COM founder, Tatu Ylönen. My issue with this was that it meant that the user "myuser01" would not have any write access to their base directory.

The sftp base folder is /var/sftp and the user was created as follows: groupadd sftpusersĬhown myuser01:myuser01 /var/sftp/myuser01 I am in the process of setting chroot for sftp and have used a combination of tutorials ( source1, source2) and have ended up with the following configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Match Group sftpusers
