    Posted on

    Dears

    i create sftp account toward one directory see below:

    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# groupadd sftpusers
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# useradd -g sftpusers -d /conf -s /sbin/nologin mtsftp
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# 
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# passwd mtsftp
    Changing password for user mtsftp.
    New password: 
    BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
    BAD PASSWORD: is too simple
    Retype new password: 
    passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# 
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# 
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# grep mtsftp /etc//passwd
    mtsftp:x:500:500::/conf:/sbin/nologin
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# 
    
    i added this lines to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    Subsystem       sftp    internal-sftp
    Match Group sftpusers
            ChrootDirectory /opt/na/%u
            ForceCommand internal-sftp
    i put comment out to 
    #Subsystem      sftp    /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
    
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# mkdir /opt/na/telephoneInerface
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# mkdir /opt/na/telephoneInerface/conf
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# chown mtsftp:sftpusers /opt/na/telephoneInerface/conf
    [root@NACAPP1S ~]# service sshd restart
    Stopping sshd: [  OK  ]
    Starting sshd: [  OK  ]
    

    but when i want to connect from an other server in the same address range ( from which i can access to vua ssh), i receive this message

    [root@NACAPP2P ~]# sftp mtsftp@10.80.214.106
