Topic: SFTP and chroot, HowTo needed

[d_gerst]

Hello,

I use a SME 6.5 and I want to give some users sftp access from internet(this works fine with dungog contrib), not ftps, . But I want to restrict a user to specified directory, so he or she could only access this directory and subfolders of the directory. I tried to use examples of rssh.conf, but it won't work.

Could someone give me a clue or a howto for chroot for sftp?

Best regards,
Daniel

It's probably unwise to do that. chrooting a user to a directory which they control (can modify) will result in reduced security (including possible root exploit) rather than increased security.
