SFTP Installation

#1 Post by devel »

Hello, I am installing a sftp server and it works great if I set the chown to root:root and chmod 755, so sftp users just can read and write and if I change it to chmod 777 it stops working (gives an software caused connection abort error). So how can I solve it to allow writing to users into his / directory?

Thanks a lot for any help.
Devel. :twisted:

You don't want users writing to the root directory. Seriously.

OTOH, if you're asking about using sftp+chroot, the solution is not a permissions hack (as it almost never is). Maybe try a Web search for chroot sftp debian.
