Topic: SFTP Access No longer

[Smitro]

Hi all,

I've had my users connecting via SFTP to upload files to there websites. For some reason this has just stopped. I'm not sure exactly when it stopped but it may have had something to do with upgrading to v7.1

I had dungog package:
smeserver-remoteuseraccess-1.2-6.noarch.rpm
but then when I got this error, I went looking and found an upgrade, so I upgraded over the top with:
smeserver-remoteuseraccess-1.2-10.noarch.rpm

Users can't login when they only have RSSH + VPN access. But when I give them Shell Access it works no problem.

When using CoreFTP this is the error I get.

looking up host "domain.removed"

I'm lost as where to start on this one?

is the db value set
does it update the rssh.conf file
if sftp doesn't work report a bug

[root@kiwi SOURCES]# cat /etc/rssh.conf
logfacility = LOG_USER
umask = 022
user = mm:022:11111:

[root@kiwi SOURCES]# db accounts show mm
mm=user
    Shell=/usr/bin/rssh
    Street=Long Tan
    Sudoer=no
    Uid=5011
    VPNClientAccess=yes

Both of these contain the same variables as you have said and a few extras.

I've also checked and when you change the users access from RSSH to Shell Access the variables change. So it's obviously updating it's self ok. And as soon as I change the user from Shell access to RSSH + VPN the user gets the error message as above. As soon as I change the user back to Shell Access, they can login without a problem.

I'll add a bug report I guess. Weird thing is that it use to work.

Things change constantly

This happened to me also.
After investigating the matter i was hacked through a php script which was in a old outdated php app.
After the hack things were screwed and i couldn't use sftp anymore.

I did a format and a clean install.

I didn't know it was a bug till after I asked here.

I've submitted the bug here:  http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2470

I experience the same problem.
WinSCP gives the following error: Is the host running a ftp server?

If I give shell access -> no prob

I'm also using the 1.2-10 contrib from dungog.
